Adrian Killins Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Won't be tendered by Broncos Killins (ankle) won't be tendered a contract by the Broncos, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Killins missed the entire 2021 campaign with an ankle injury and now will become an unrestricted free agent. It's unlikely that the 24-year-old's injury will impact his availability for offseason activities as he seeks out a new organization.

Prepping for slot work Killins likely will take most of his snaps as a slot receiver this summer, Bo Wulf of The Athletic reports.

Impact Killins is one of the lightest players in the NFL, generously listed at 5-foot-8, 177 pounds (he was below 170 throughout his college career at UCF). The 2020 UDFA spent most of his rookie season on Philadelphia's practice squad, and his best shot to earn a roster spot might be through slot work and kick/punt returns. While officially still listed as a running back, Killins doesn't have much hope to earn a significant role in a backfield that also includes Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell, Kerryon Johnson, Jordan Howard and Jason Huntley.

Pens two-year deal Killins (undisclosed) signed a two-year contract with the Eagles on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Killins suited up in just one game as a rookie with the Eagles. In that contest, he lost 12 yards on his only carry but caught his lone target for a two-yard gain. The UCF product will add depth in the Eagles' backfield, but Miles Sanders (knee) and Boston Scott should take on a bulk of the responsibility in 2021. In turn, Killins will have to battle for a roster spot during the offseason program and training camp.

Goes to COVID list Killins (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Sunday.

Impact Both Killins and Nickell Robey-Coleman have been moved to reserve with COVID concerns as Philadelphia heads into its regular-season finale Sunday night against Washington. The 23-year-old Killins ends his season with one appearance, registering a two-yard catch and a minus-12 yard rush Week 4 against the 49ers.

Back on Eagles' practice squad Killins re-signed with the Eagles' practice squad Friday.

Impact Killins was released from Philadelphia's practice squad Nov. 24, but he will now get another opportunity. The 22-year-old appeared in one game with the Eagles this season, but he only managed one rush for minus-12 yards and one reception for two yards.

Cut from practice squad The Eagles cut Killins from the practice squad Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of UCF was elevated for the Week 4 win over San Francisco, and he recorded a carry that went for a 12-yard loss and a two-yard reception. This may be a signal that Miles Sanders (knee) will return Week 10 and the organizational depth is no longer needed. Killins will vie for a practice squad role elsewhere.

Let go by Philly Killins was waived by the Eagles on Monday.

Impact The 22-year-old was promoted from the practice squad Saturday and made his NFL debut during Sunday's win over the 49ers, playing eight offensive snaps and rushing once for negative-12 yards and catching his only target for two yards. Killins is a candidate to rejoin the Eagles' practice squad should be go unclaimed on waivers.

Joins Eagles active roster Killins was signed to the Eagles' active roster off the practice squad Saturday.

Impact The undrafted free agent could potentially get into his first NFL game Sunday against San Francisco, but he'll almost certainly be playing a minor role if he does. He's buried down the depth chart at running back and appears to be the team's fifth option behind Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Corey Clement and Jason Huntley.

Waived by Eagles Killins was waived by the Eagles on Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBCSports.com reports.

Impact The Eagles made their final cuts at running back Thursday, parting ways with Killins, Elijah Holyfield and Michael Warren. Killins signed with Philadelphia as an undrafted free agent back in April after spending four seasons at UCF.

Picking up slack Coach Doug Peterson said Wednesday that Killins has been getting "a lot of reps" with Miles Sanders (lower body) sidelined, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

Impact Killins appears to be one of the beneficiaries after Sanders suffered a lower-body injury during training camp last week. Killins - an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida - totaled 21 touchdowns across three seasons in college. The fact that he's earning first-team reps is a strong sign that he'll make the roster at the least, but he still has a ways to go to make a meaningful contribution from a fantasy perspective.
