The Philadelphia Eagles have officially waived tight end McCallan Castles from injured reserve, according to a report by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Castles had previously landed on the Eagles’ injured reserve in early August after clearing waivers, meaning no other team claimed him. Despite this, the Eagles decided to release him, signaling their intention to move on from the 24-year-old.
Castles is still dealing with an unspecified injury, which likely contributed to his placement on injured reserve in the first place. However, the Eagles chose to waive him from injured reserve without reaching an injury settlement, indicating they did not reach an agreement that would offer Castles compensation for his injury while releasing him from the team.
At this point, it’s unclear what the next steps for Castles might be as he works through his injury recovery. The decision to waive him without a settlement suggests that the Eagles are ready to move on, leaving Castles’ future uncertain. He will likely need to focus on getting healthy before exploring his options with other teams.
The tight end, who is 24 years old, was initially brought in to compete for a spot on the Eagles’ roster, but his injury derailed his chances. Now a free agent, his prospects in the NFL will depend heavily on his ability to recover from this undisclosed injury and potentially catch the eye of another team looking for depth at the tight end position. If he can get healthy and prove his value, there may still be an opportunity for him to make an impact in the league.
For now, Castles finds himself without a team as he navigates the challenges of recovering from an injury while being a free agent. Time will tell if he is able to bounce back and find a place in the NFL once he’s fully healthy.
