Eagles Cut Former 6st-Round Pick After Skipping Practice Following Week 2 Inactive

Philadelphia, PA – September 19, 2025
 
The Philadelphia Eagles made a roster change just days after their Week 2 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, parting ways with a player once seen as a key piece on the offensive line.
The move came as a surprise. After investing in an offseason contract, many expected the Eagles to rely on Cameron Williams, a first-round draft pick, to bolster their offensive line. However, his performance never lived up to expectations with any significant blocking plays.

According to insider sources, frustration quickly escalated. After being ruled inactive for the Chiefs game, Williams reportedly skipped practice the following day—a decision the team’s management could not overlook.

Cameron Williams, a  sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Eagles, had a turbulent season. After moving from a backup role to the practice squad and then to the active roster, he ultimately faced release due to his actions. Team officials emphasized that the decision centered on accountability. They noted that skipping practice, regardless of the circumstances, crossed an unacceptable line. For a team chasing a Super Bowl return, there is little room for distraction or unprofessional behavior.

Fans reacted with anger, arguing that the investment in Williams had cost them other backup options at too high a price. His release without playing a full game this season only deepened the disappointment. Veteran leaders in the locker room echoed this sentiment. One player told local reporters: "You have to show up and work. That’s the standard here." Eagles management made their stance clear.
By releasing Williams, the team created an open roster spot shortly after signing former guard Kenyon Green on September 19 to bolster depth along the offensive line. For fans, this decision underscored a harsh reality in Philadelphia: talent never outweighs dedication on the road to a championship.
