Eagles Snatch RB Keilan Robinson Off Waivers: Could He Be the Game-Changer They’ve Been Missing?

When a team pulls the trigger on a waiver claim, it’s rarely just about filling a roster spot—it’s a move packed with potential and questions buzzing beneath the surface. That’s exactly the vibe when the Eagles scooped up Keilan Robinson off waivers this past Friday. Robinson, who was cut loose by the Jaguars just a day before, didn’t waste time expressing gratitude online—with a simple yet powerful “God is good.” At 25, this running back, initially a fifth-round pick last year, has mostly been a special teams presence but now steps into a backfield crowded with names like Saquon Barkley and Will Shipley. It’s a tough climb, sure—but isn’t that what makes stories like this worth following? Meanwhile, to make room, the Eagles said goodbye to wideout Ife Adeyi, showing that every move in this chess game matters. Curious about the full story behind this shuffle? LEARN MORE
