The Philadelphia Eagles have added a new tight end, claiming Kevin Foelsch off waivers from the New York Jets. The team announced the addition on August 3.
In a corresponding roster move, Philadelphia waved rookie tight end McCallan Castles with an injury designation.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Foelsch played in 42 games for the University of New Haven Chargers (Division II) from 2019-2022. After going undrafted in the 2024 NFL draft, Foelsch was signed by the Carolina Panthers, but was waived three days later. He landed in New York with the Jets after that.
Philadelphia kicks its 2024 preseason off on August 9 on the road against the Baltimore Ravens, so we could get a glimpse of Foelsch as early as then.
