Eagles Sign “Underdog” WR Just 18 Hours After Cowboys Release, pending physical.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25 — Eighteen hours after the Dallas Cowboys announced his release, the Philadelphia Eagles reached agreement to sign

Jalen Brooks, pending a physical. It’s a classic underdog swing, adding speed and depth to a receiver room undergoing mid-season recalibration.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ receiver hierarchy is led by

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, with depth from Parris Campbell and developmental options. With Jalen Brooks, the team weighs a practice-squad slot or back-end 53-man role, enabling weekly elevations and matchup-specific rotation.

“We need competition. Jalen Brooks brings an underdog edge, clean routes, and real urgency. The agreement remains contingent on his physical,” an Eagles voice said, declining to specify a timeline. The message is clear: earn snaps, protect the ball, and contribute immediately.

Within RPO and play-action structures, Jalen Brooks fits slants, digs, and comebacks, and can help on special teams as a gunner. The Philadelphia Eagles expect more physicality on the perimeter, improved run fits from receivers, and tighter spacing on short-yardage concepts.

Out of South Carolina, Jalen Brooks was a seventh-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys, valued for durability and disciplined route pace. NFL usage has been limited, yet preseason flashes suggest situational contributions are realistic when responsibilities are defined in the right system.

The deal is still pending physical, meaning the Philadelphia Eagles finalize only after medicals. They could place Jalen Brooks on the practice squad for temporary elevations, or open a 53-man spot with a corresponding move before roster deadlines crystallize later this week.

Low risk, tangible upside: Jalen Brooks arrives with a chip on his shoulder. If timing syncs with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert, the Philadelphia Eagles

gain another zone-finder, perimeter blocker, and core-teams candidate to stabilize game-day flexibility.

Next steps are medical clearance, contract execution, and onboarding the playbook. If processing is smooth, Jalen Brooks could appear quickly in limited personnel packages. The

Philadelphia Eagles believe one timely touch — a chain-mover or special-teams tackle — can springboard a bigger role.Continue reading
