OT Laekin Vakalahi (*International Player Exemption)

The Eagles are mining for unearthed talent in the international ranks once again. The 21-year-old Laekin Vakalahi was born in Auckland, New Zealand and raised in Melbourne, Australia. The oldest of five brothers, Vakalahi is just 21 years old. He doesn't have football experience, but at 6-foot-5, 318 pounds, Vakalahi offers 35-inch arms and is a raw prospect for development. The Eagles have been given a roster exemption for Vakalahi since he is an international player, so he does not count against the 90-player active roster.

The Eagles also announced that they have placed offensive tackle Le'Raven Clark on Injured Reserve.
