Eagles Release TE C.J. Uzomah, Re-sign Jason Poe

The Philadelphia Eagles have released veteran tight end C.J. Uzomah, who was signed in April to bolster the team's tight end depth. Uzomah, 31, struggled last season with the Jets, recording only eight receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown across 12 games. In a corresponding move, the Eagles re-signed offensive lineman Jason Poe, who had previously been waived on August 5. Uzomah's release comes as the Eagles finalize their roster ahead of the preseason finale against Minnesota. With his departure, Albert Okwuegbunam is expected to remain on the roster as the third tight end. Uzomah's NFL career includes significant time with the Bengals, where he was a fifth-round draft pick in 2015.
