Cameron Latu - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Inactive for Week 16 Latu (neck) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Latu was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional matchup, and he'll ultimately have to remain sidelined for at least one game while working to recover from his stinger. The depth tight end has yet to be targeted across 13 regular-season appearances this year, so his absence won't have much of an impact for fantasy purposes.

Questionable to play Saturday Latu (neck) is questionable to play in Saturday's matchup against the Commanders.

Impact Latu practiced in full on Thursday after starting the week as a non-participant in practice. This is an encouraging sign for the 25-year-old, heading into Saturday's Week 16 game. Latu has yet to be targeted this season, playing 225 special teams snaps to 79 on offense (19 in Week 15).

Logs DNP on Wednesday Latu (neck) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact The Alabama product played a season-high 19 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Raiders, but it now appears he sustained a stinger in the process. Latu likely needs to upgrade to limited practice either Thursday or Friday to have a chance at suiting up for the Week 16 matchup against the Commanders on Saturday.

Limited usage on offense Monday Latu went without a target while playing five of the Eagles' 71 snaps on offense Monday in a 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Impact Latu has suited up in each of the Eagles' games since Week 2, but the reserve tight end continues to make most of his contributions on special teams. He's yet to draw a target across 59 snaps on offense this season.

DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Just one snap on offense Sunday Latu went without a target on his lone snap on offense and played 17 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

Impact Latu has been active for every game since Week 2 but remains buried on the depth chart at tight end behind Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson. He's yet to play double-digit snaps on offense in any of his nine appearances and has yet to draw a target.

Signed to active roster The Eagles signed Latu from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Impact Latu had been elevated for action Week 2 and Week 3, and he now gets a long-term spot on the 53-man roster due to Philadelphia placing three other players on IR. Expect Latu to continue contributing primarily on special teams while also playing a reserve role on offense as the Eagles travel to Tampa Bay on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 24 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Goes back to practice squad Latu reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Latu was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against the Rams and logged five of the Eagles' 67 offensive snaps without seeing any targets or touches. He's been elevated each of the past two weeks, so Philadelphia can elevate him only once more before Latu would need to be signed to the active roster in order to be able to play.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad The Eagles elevated Latu from the practice squad Saturday ahead of their matchup versus the Rams on Sunday.

Impact Latu will be elevated for the second straight week, although he likely won't see much playing time on offense as Dallas Goedert (knee) is set to return from his one-game absence. Latu could also see playing time on special teams and will be eligible to be elevated just two more times this season following Sunday's matchup.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Eagles elevate Marcus Epps, Cameron Latu for Sunday's game against the Rams Latu, a former third-round pick, made his NFL debut in the Week 2 win over Kansas City.

SEPTEMBER 20 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Reverts to practice squad Latu reverted to Philadelphia's practice squad Monday.

Impact Latu played nine snaps on offense and 15 on special teams during Sunday's victory over the Chiefs but failed to record any stats. The 25-year-old could be elevated again for the team's week 3 matchup versus the Rams should Dallas Goedert (knee) remain sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated ahead of Sunday Latu was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact The 25-year-old failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster at the end of August, but he remained with their practice squad and is now in line to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Chiefs. Latu's signing provides Philadelphia with extra depth at tight end in Week 2 with Dallas Goedert (knee) set to miss the Super Bowl IX rematch.

SEPTEMBER 13 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Sticking around in Philadelphia The Eagles signed Latu to the practice squad Thursday.

Impact Latu will stay in Philadelphia as a member of the practice squad after being cut at the end of training camp. The tight end out of Alabama has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game since being selected by the 49ers in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. That could change for Week 1 against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4 if the Eagles need an extra tight end on the active roster if Dallas Goedert (groin) is not cleared to play.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Philadelphia Latu was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday.

Impact Latu was limited by a groin injury during training camp, ultimately failing to reel in his only target during his one preseason game. The tight end has yet to make his professional debut after being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the 49ers, and he will now potentially look for another opportunity elsewhere.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Back from groin injury Latu (groin) failed to haul in his lone target and recorded one tackle during the Eagles' 22-13 preseason loss to the Browns on Saturday.

Impact Latu was limited in practice earlier this week while tending to a groin injury, but the 2023 third-rounder was cleared to play in Saturday's contest. Latu is battling for a depth spot on the Eagles' 53-man roster, though there wasn't much about Saturday's game to help improve his stock. He'll look to make a bigger impact in the Eagles' preseason finale against the Jets on Friday.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing groin injury Latu did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to a groin injury, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Latu may have picked up the injury during the Eagles' 34-27 preseason win over the Bengals on Thursday, when he played 23 snaps (seven on offense, 16 on special teams) while recording one solo tackle. The 2023 third-rounder has a slim shot of making the Eagles' 53-man roster as a backup tight end, and an extended absence will diminish those chances even further. Latu will look to recover enough to return to practice and be available for the Eagles' second preseason contest against the Browns on Saturday, Aug. 16.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to Philadelphia The Eagles signed Latu to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Latu spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Browns' practice squad after being waived by the 49ers at the end of training camp in late August. Latu will have an opportunity to work with Eagles' training staff in the spring during OTAs and minicamp and will aim to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign. He has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game since being selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 101st overall.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Browns' practice squad Cleveland signed Latu to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact After being waived by the 49ers after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Latu caught on with the Browns on the practice squad. He was let go by Cleveland on Dec. 18, but he's back on the practice squad and could be elevated for the Browns' regular-season finale against the Ravens on Saturday if David Njoku (knee) is unable to play.
