Elijah Moore was kept on the Eagles' roster but did not dress for Week 1. Makai Lemon questions why the Eagles wouldn't release him and try to get him back on the practice squad, or actually play him. Based on what was seen in practice, Moore looks more ready to contribute right now than Makai Lemon and could be nice to see in more of a rotation behind the top two receivers.NegativeRoleSep 13, 2026
Elijah Moore is a healthy scratch for Week 1 after making the Eagles' roster as a bubble player; the source notes it is curious that the Eagles kept him on the roster rather than placing him on the practice squad, only to have him inactive; Moore lacks a special teams background, and the Eagles are dressing six receivers: DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown, Darius Cooper, and Britain Covey.NegativeRoleSep 12, 2026
Elijah Moore is expected to share snaps with Makai Lemon in the WR3 role, along with Hollywood Brown and/or Darius Cooper, and appears more prepared to contribute to winning in Week 1 than Lemon.PositiveRoleSep 9, 2026
Moore is part of the Eagles' receiving corps expected to help fill the void left by the departure of a key receiver. In Sean Mannion's play-action-heavy scheme, Moore, along with Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown, and Makai Lemon, are positioned to support the offense's success. The source states, 'if Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore and Makai Lemon can help make up for the loss of good ol' What's His Name in New England... there's nothing that can hold this offense back.'NegativeDepth ChartSep 8, 2026
Listed on the Eagles' Week 1 depth chart as a backup wide receiver; the source questions whether both Moore and Hollywood Brown will be active or if one will be scratched, and suggests Moore could potentially be used as a punt returner.NegativeRoleSep 7, 2026
Elijah Moore offers experienced depth in the Eagles' receiver room in 2026 alongside Hollywood Brown.NegativeValueSep 6, 2026
Veteran receiver signed to the 53-man roster in hopes of finding a resurgence. Moore combined for just 9 passes and 112 yards across the Bills and Broncos last season but is still only 26 years old, leaving room for potential upside. The source notes: 'He's still just 26, so maybe there's more there,' suggesting age-based optimism despite recent production struggles.NegativeRoleSep 2, 2026
Roseman was very complimentary of Moore, praising his great camp performance, ability to separate, and skill at getting open. The Eagles protected Moore from the waiver wire because they had been following his career since Joe Douglas drafted him to the Jets and didn't want to risk losing him.PositiveRoleSep 2, 2026
Earned roster spot after having a great camp, per GM Howie Roseman. Decision to keep Moore was influenced by the team's shift toward a results-oriented roster mentality following a disappointing 2025 season and major offseason changes (A.J. Brown, Jeff Stoutland, Adoree Jackson departures). Moore's strong camp performance was rewarded with a roster spot rather than being sent to practice squad.PositiveRoleAug 30, 2026
Moore earned his spot on the roster with a very productive training camp; Jalen Hurts seems comfortable targeting him, and his inclusion may be partially connected to Makai Lemon potentially not being ready for a major role early in the season.PositiveDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
The source lists Moore as a notable bubble player who made the Eagles' 53-man roster, indicating he secured a roster spot as a WR.NegativeProjectionAug 29, 2026
Receiver Elijah Moore caught two passes for 10 yards this preseason, contributing minimally to an Eagles receiving corps that looks like a weakness entering the season with starters DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks not playing in preseason.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Played in the preseason finale while Darius Cooper did not; is on the roster bubble with Maximus Pulley projecting him to make the 53-man roster, though with reservations given his vested veteran status (not subject to waivers) and mixed preseason performance despite coaching praise.PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026
Moore is firmly on the bubble but the coaching staff has spoken favorably of him, he's had a good summer, and Hurts has thrown to him a lot, which could keep him on the roster especially with Lemon looking shaky.PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026
Currently inspires more confidence as a WR3 option than Makai Lemon does based on what the source has seen this summer. The source suggests Moore should potentially be starting alongside DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks in Week 1 against Washington if beating the Commanders is the top priority, though the source doesn't think that deployment is necessarily likely given Lemon's work with starters and Eagles' effort to force-feed him touches.NegativeRoleAug 27, 2026
Failed to make a contested grab while being covered by Ambry Thomas during final camp practice, indicating continued issues with contested catch ability.PositiveRoleAug 26, 2026
Moore was schemed wide open for a catch-and-run touchdown from Andy Dalton and was also targeted by Tanner McKee to get into field goal range during a two-minute drill towards the end of practice.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Made a number of catches today after missing the Eagles' previous practice. Also involved in a jet sweep that went for a chunk gain. Described as one of the tougher players to figure out in terms of whether he'll make the 53-man roster; if cut, the Eagles would likely try to get him back on the practice squad and use his temporary elevations.NegativeInjuryAug 20, 2026
WR Elijah Moore was newly sidelined after suffering a neck injury on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday. This adds to the Eagles' wide receiver depth concerns, as the room has been banged up throughout training camp heading into Week 1.PositiveRoleAug 19, 2026
Moore caught a deep ball from Hurts and did a nice job tracking the ball and winning against coverage from former Eagle Kevin Byard, demonstrating his ability to win downfield.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
Moore has significantly out-played Hollywood Brown during camp despite being on a minimum-wage deal with no guarantees. The source notes Moore 'averaged 50 catches for 541 yards from 2021 through 2024 with the Jets and Browns' and had '587 yards and five TDs with the Chiefs last year.' However, the source suggests Moore is more likely to clear waivers than Cooper, and the Eagles may cut him to try to get him back on the practice squad, making him a potential waiver wire value play.NegativeUsageAug 17, 2026
Elijah Moore had one touch in limited playing time in the preseason game, indicating minimal involvement in the offense.NegativeRoleAug 16, 2026
Moore was first up at kick returner in the preseason game against Baltimore, competing with Quez Watkins for the role.NegativeRoleAug 14, 2026
Moore is an unproven receiver in the Eagles' new receiver corps who needs preseason action to develop chemistry and trust with Jalen Hurts; the source argues that giving Hurts preseason time to gain trust in Moore is 'a risk worth taking' given the volume of changes in the offense and the absence of first-round pick Makai Lemon due to hamstring injury.NegativeRoleAug 13, 2026
Moore is getting first-team reps ahead of Darius Cooper. Hurts hit Moore on an out route to the left to move the offense into goal-to-go territory. Riq Woolen had tight coverage on Moore over the middle on one play that helped force an incompletion.PositiveRoleAug 13, 2026
WR Elijah Moore has had a strong summer and leapfrogged rookie Makai Lemon on the depth chart. Moore has made the most of extra reps, developed chemistry with Jalen Hurts, grown comfortable in the new offense, earned coach trust, and made consistent plays. The source notes he hasn't missed a rep and suggests he is now ahead in the WR rotation.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Elijah Moore had a strong summer in camp and is in consideration for starting wide receiver reps, potentially ahead of Makai Lemon. Moore is also listed as a punt returner option.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026
Moore beat Darius Cooper DeJean in 1-on-1 drills and caught a touchdown on Hurts' flashiest play-action deep shot. He also had a short pass get knocked down by Jakorian Bennett but showed up in multiple reps.PositiveRoleAug 10, 2026
Moore was found open on a crossing route and hit in stride by Hurts for good YAC potential; after the play, Hurts and Moore did their own little celebration together. Bernard noted he thinks Hurts is going to want Moore on the roster. Later, Moore made a leaping grab in the end zone for a touchdown against Cooper DeJean, showing good effort to uncover while going up against the cornerback.PositiveRoleAug 10, 2026
WR Elijah Moore has been exciting to watch in training camp practice according to OC Sean Mannion, who specifically highlighted him alongside DeVonta Smith as standout performers in the wide receiver group.NegativeRoleAug 10, 2026
The source describes Moore as a really tough cut, noting he deserves to make the team and has been getting first-team reps. However, he lacks special teams experience (19 career snaps) and is not subject to waivers. The source suggests the Eagles might get him to agree to practice squad early in the season before adding him to the roster once a spot frees up.NegativeDepth ChartAug 9, 2026
Moore is projected to be on the Eagles' practice squad as a wide receiver.NegativeDepth ChartAug 9, 2026
Moore was a really tough cut; he deserves to make the team and he's been getting first-team reps but he doesn't have special teams experience (19 career snaps) and he's not subject to waivers, so the Eagles might get him to agree to be on the practice squad early in the season before eventually adding him to the roster once a spot frees up.NegativeRoleAug 9, 2026
The 26-year-old receiver, entering Year 6 of his NFL career after signing a one-year contract with Philadelphia in March, is 'swimming upstream against projection and larger contracts in an effort to make the 33-man roster.' Through seven practices, Moore has 'unquestionably been one of the better Eagles' receivers,' but the source notes 'the odds remain against the Ole Miss product' due to the competitive depth chart and financial constraints.PositiveRoleAug 9, 2026
Elijah Moore had another good day in practice and is making a case for a spot on the Eagles' roster.PositiveUsageAug 9, 2026
Had another good day in practice; completed a pass from Hurts over the middle with timing; found a crossing Moore in the end zone for a successful two-point conversion. Making a case for a spot on the roster. The Eagles may have enough at receiver to weather a potential slow start by Lemon.PositiveDepth ChartAug 8, 2026
Moore is trying to make the most of extra reps with DeVonta Smith and rookie Makai Lemon missing multiple practices with hamstring injuries. He has taken plenty of first-team reps and has flashed his abilities. While it would be too strong to call him a camp standout, his stock is certainly up from where it was before these seven camp practices. Moore has 209 catches, 2,274 yards, and nine touchdowns through five NFL seasons and is making the most of his opportunities, though he remains self-critical about alignment, assignment, and execution.PositiveUsageAug 7, 2026
Moore was in motion prior to the snap on the first 11-on-11 play of the day, an under-center play-action with Hurts rolling right to complete a short pass to a wide open Moore; the Eagles are scheming up easy completions for him.PositiveRoleAug 6, 2026
Moore, a 2021 second-round pick (No. 34 overall) who was cut by the Bills and finished 2025 on Denver's practice squad, has made the most of his opportunities in Philadelphia. He's rotated in with the first-team offense and clearly has juice to offer on offense, though the source wonders if his lack of special teams experience could hurt him during roster cuts.NegativeRoleAug 5, 2026
Moore caught a pass from Hurts on a curl for a short gain in 11-on-11 drills, showing involvement in the passing game.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Moore was targeted on a deep attempt that Hurts overthrew; the source notes the ball lacked a tight spiral.PositiveRoleAug 3, 2026
Moore returned to practice after being excused on Saturday and had a strong performance. He caught Jalen Hurts' flashiest completion of camp thus far—a touchdown pass thrown with anticipation over the middle into the end zone to split the safeties. Moore also ran a sharp route to get open in the middle of the field for a completion of at least 15 yards.NegativeDepth ChartAug 3, 2026
Elijah Moore is a wild card on the Eagles' 53-man roster projection. If the Eagles decide to go with just five wide receivers instead of six, Moore would likely be the odd man out, as the top four receivers (DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown) are considered locks.NegativeUsageJul 30, 2026
Connected with Jalen Hurts on a quick completion in 7-on-7 drills. Also took a jet sweep with the first-team offense that resulted in no gain with the defense all over him.NegativeRoleJul 30, 2026
