Jack Stoll, who was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday to open a roster spot for the team to activate Jordan Mailata from injured reserve, was officially claimed by the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday.
The Dolphins had the No. 10 spot in the waiver wire claiming order, which mirrors the current 2025 NFL Draft order.
There was thought that Stoll might return to Philly on the Eagles’ practice squad if he passed through waivers unclaimed. Alas, that won’t be the case.
The Eagles are moving forward with just two tight ends on their active roster: Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra.
They also have two tight ends on their practice squad: E.J. Jenkins and C.J. Uzomah. Jenkins is out of temporarily elevations while Uzomah still has three remaining.
Waiving Stoll hardly felt like a no-brainer; he did a nice job as TE2 when Goedert missed three games. And while Calcaterra offers more juice as a pass-catcher, it’s Stoll who serves as the superior blocker.
The Eagles could’ve considered some other moves to open a roster spot for Mailata. Do they really need to keep Eli Ricks around as a seventh cornerback who doesn’t really help on special teams when he’s occasionally active? Do they need to have 11 offensive linemen on their active roster like they currently do?
Ultimately, what’s done is done. Stoll is starting a new chapter to his NFL career in Miami.
