Now the Eagles have seven.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"HMDX7A7FOBCE3MF52ZPUXQ7OBY\">On Tuesday, each NFL team was required to reduce its preseason roster to 53 players on its regular-season active roster. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"DSYB4736KZG3DMXFPZGIEMMNQ4\">On its way to getting there, Philadelphia waived three men who had played at Alabama \u2013 tight end Cameron Latu, cornerback Eli Ricks and running back Keilan Robinson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"VEFRTG4E2NBI5KSHIRQZXHMS6Y\">None is a rookie. Ricks has played in 23 regular-season games and one playoff contest for the Eagles over the past two seasons, Robinson played in six games for the Jacksonville Jaguars as a fifth-round rookie in 2024 and Latu has not appeared in an NFL game. A third-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2023, Latu spent his rookie season on injured reserve and most of last season on the Cleveland Browns practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"SYQDWOLMNNHC7PFLZ3ZON5SS34\">The former Eagles were among 11 Alabama alumni waived on Tuesday in the NFL. The other players were:<\/p>\n<p>Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (St. Paul\u2019s Episcopal) by the Baltimore RavensWide receiver Ja\u2019Corey Brooks (Alabama) by the Washington CommandersGuard Darrian Dalcourt by the Baltimore RavensTight end C.J. Dippre by the New England PatriotsWide receiver Traeshon Holden by the Dallas CowboysSafety Jaylen Key by the Cincinnati BengalsRunning back Jase McClellan by the Tampa Bay BuccaneersCenter Seth McLaughlin by the Cincinnati Bengals<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"VS3FIEXUR5BKDKVZAO564XKGNA\">Brooks, Dippre, Holden and McLaughlin are undrafted rookies. Armour-Davis is the most experienced of the players with 19 games over the past three seasons with the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"7Q6QVLAJONAIJKH7TFW55ZAVLI\">Another former Alabama player had his contract terminated on Tuesday, when the Atlanta Falcons released linebacker\/safety Ronnie Harrison. A third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and a veteran of 84 regular-season and two playoff games, Harrison has been in the league too long to have to pass through waivers. He became an immediate free agent when the Falcons cut him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"FTHD72J3TFAILOCBOAYNBRED5Y\">The waived players will have to wait until 11 a.m. CDT Wednesday to take their next steps in the NFL. The players can be claimed by other teams off the waiver wire until that time. If they go unclaimed, they become free agents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"TVKMCFWUBVA53CVF64B56NKY6U\">At noon CDT Wednesday, NFL teams can start assembling their 16-player practice squads from the free agents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"CXJSM3FTR5EG7NVGYXPTR6ZHKU\">Before Tuesday, three other former Alabama players had been let go since their team played its final preseason game:<\/p>\n<p>Cornerback Tony Brown by the Cleveland BrownsPunter James Burnip by the New Orleans SaintsGuard Javion Cohen (Central-Phenix City) by the Cleveland Browns<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"2V775XTMOZAHDH6IJMXZLMMKLI\">FOR MORE OF AL.COM\u2019S COVERAGE OF THE NFL, GO TO OUR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.al.com\/nfl\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL PAGE<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"QJMJNBVIYRHHZLTETYJBUWJFMU\">Mark Inabinett is a sports reporter for Alabama Media Group.
