Austin Watkins Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Dropped by Philadelphia The Eagles waived Watkins on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Watkins spent the majority of his 2023 campaign on Cleveland's practice squad before inking a deal with the Eagles in January, and Philadelphia has now decided to move in a different direction. The 26-year-old wideout has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game, but he recorded four receptions for 33 yards across the Eagles' three preseason games.

That could change Sunday with wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee) both out for Week 10.
