Eagles sign RB Elijah Mitchell to active roster, waive Jaydon Blue and Carson Steele
The Eagles made changes to the running back room on their 53-man roster on Tuesday.
The Philadelphia Eagles have made roster adjustments, signing running back Elijah Mitchell from their practice squad and waiving Jaydon Blue and Carson Steele. Mitchell, who played for the Chiefs last year, returned to the practice squad after being cut in August and has run for 1,523 yards and nine touchdowns over three seasons with the 49ers.
Blue, who signed with the Eagles ahead of last Sunday's loss to the Panthers, did not play. Steele, who suffered a shoulder injury in Week 6, was waived with an injury designation after playing in two games. Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce remain the other backs on the roster, with Barkley currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
