  "account": "Philadelphia Eagles are reducing their 2026 NFL Draft roster by waiving at least two of their eight picks. Cole Wisniewski and Keyshawn James-Newby were cut on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Both players missed significant practice time due to injuries, making it difficult to justify their staying on the team. While James-Newby showed some flashes, they ultimately fell short. If cleared through waivers, the Eagles may sign the players to their 16-player practice squad. More cuts are anticipated, and the remaining six picks still on the roster include Makai Lemon, Eli Stowers, Markel Bell, Cole Payton, Micah Morris, and Uar Bernard. The Eagles might also retain at least one undrafted rookie free agent, with Joshua Weru being a strong candidate if James-Newby doesn't make the cut.",
