Uzomah signed with the Eagles' 53-man roster from their practice squad Wednesday. Uzomah has been elevated from the practice squad in each of Philadelphia's last three games, so he wasn't eligible to be promoted again. With Dallas Goedert (knee) considered week-to-week, the Auburn product's signing to the active roster was the only way for him to suit up Sunday against the Panthers.

Uzomah signed with the Eagles' 53-man roster from their practice squad Wednesday. Uzomah has been elevated from the practice squad in each of Philadelphia's last three games, so he wasn't eligible to be promoted again. With Dallas Goedert (knee) considered week-to-week, the Auburn product's signing to the active roster was the only way for him to suit up Sunday against the Panthers.
Uzomah reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Uzomah played 33 snaps (20 on offense, 13 on special teams) during the Eagles' 24-19 win over the Ravens on Sunday. Uzomah has reached the three-game maximum of elevations from the practice squad, but he could be signed to the Eagles' active roster if Dallas Goedert is placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. If Goedert does get placed on IR and Uzomah is signed to the active roster, the latter would be slated to serve as the Eagles' No. 2 tight end behind Grant Calcaterra.
Uzomah was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens. Uzomah is getting elevated for a third straight week, and he's now reached the maximum of three elevations for the season. Philadelphia would need to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for the team beyond this week. In his first two games with the club, Uzomah totaled 19 offensive snaps and did draw a target. He'll serve as the Eagles' No. 3 tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra on Sunday.
Uzomah reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log. Uzomah was elevated for the second week in a row to serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. In Philadelphia's 37-20 win over the Rams, he played on 16 of 73 offensive snaps and did not record a stat. The former Bengal and Jet, who signed with the Eagles in October, has yet to see a target on 19 offensive snaps through two games this season.
The Eagles elevated Uzomah from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Uzomah will serve as the Eagles' No. 3 tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra for Sunday's game against the Rams. Uzomah was elevated for Week 11 against the Commanders and played three snaps on offense without recording a stat.
Uzomah reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Uzomah suited up for the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Commanders on Thursday night, playing just one offensive snap and failing to record a stat. He could rejoin Philadelphia's active roster as soon as Week 12's matchup against the Rams, as the Eagles are currently carrying just two tight ends: Grant Calcaterra and Dallas Goedert.
The Eagles elevated Uzomah from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against Washington. Uzomah failed to make the Eagles' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he signed with their practice squad Oct. 10. He'll serve as the Eagles' No. 3 tight end Thursday behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra.
Uzomah signed with the Eagles' practice squad Thursday. Uzomah signed with Philadelphia as a free agent in April, but he was ultimately released by the team Aug. 21. He'll now join the franchise again, this time as a member of the practice squad, and work to earn a spot on their 53-man roster.
Uzomah was released by the Eagles on Wednesday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Uzomah's exit comes as a bit of a surprise after signing a one-year contract with the team in April. His departure will leave Albert Okwuegbunam, E.J. Jenkins, Kevin Koelsch and Armani Rogers battling for what will likely be one or two spots on the Eagles' final 53-man roster at tight end.
