The Eagles are still playing in the 2024 postseason, but they are keeping an eye on the future as well.

Philadelphia signed tight end Cameron Latu to a Reserve/Future contract on Tuesday. The team also released wide receiver Elijah Cooks from the practice squad.

Latu was a third-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 out of Alabama. The 24-year-old Latu is 6-5, 244 pounds. He spent most of the 2024 season on the Browns' practice squad.

At Alabama, he started out as an outside linebacker before being moved to the offensive side of the ball. In 2021, he scored eight receiving touchdowns to set a new school record for most in a season at that position.

Cooks was signed to the practice squad last Tuesday. The 26-year-old Cooks (6-4, 215 pounds) was a second-year receiver out of San Jose State. He originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent signing of the Jaguars following the 2023 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Cooks saw action in nine games and recorded three receptions for 38 yards. He appeared in two games for Jacksonville this season.

A 2022 All-Mountain West First-Team selection, Cooks recorded a career-high in both touchdowns (10) and receiving yards (1,076) in 12 games. He started his college career at Nevada.

The Eagles organization partnered with three local animal shelters to help give a dog (or another pet) a second chance at a loving home. The Eagles are covering all adoption fees at Providence Animal Center in Media, Pennsylvania, Street Tails, in Philadelphia, and Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center in Blackwood, New Jersey.
