Rogers was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Rogers joined the Eagles on Aug. 7 after being let go by the Commanders, catching two passes for 24 yards during the preseason. If the tight end clears waivers, he'll have a shot to return to Philadelphia's practice squad ahead of the 2024 campaign.

The Eagles claimed Rogers off waivers on Wednesday.
Rogers, who missed the entire 2023 season due to a torn Achilles tendon, was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday and now finds a new home in Philadelphia.

Armani Rogers: Let go by Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders waived Rogers on Tuesday.
Rogers missed all of 2023 due to a torn Achilles' tendon. Despite returning for OTAs and training camp, he will now be on the lookout for a new team in need of depth at tight end should he clear waivers. In his lone season of NFL action in 2022, Rogers played in 11 regular-season games for the Commanders, finishing with five catches on six targets for 64 yards.

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Past Achilles injury
Rotowire
Rogers (Achilles) was spotted on the field last week participating during the Commanders' OTAs, Bryan Manning of USA Today reports.
Rogers missed the entire 2023 campaign due to a torn Achilles' tendon, but he looks to be healthy again and ready to compete for a roster spot heading into the 2024 season. The 26-year-old appeared in 11 games in 2022, catching five of his six targets for 64 yards while playing 375 total snaps (158 on offense).

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Converts to TE as rookie
Rotowire
Rogers caught five of six targets for 64 yards in 11 games during the 2022 season.
Rogers was a dual-threat QB at UNLV and Ohio before catching on with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent and converting to tight end. He's listed at only 225 pounds, but the team nonetheless trusted him to play at least 13 snaps in five straight games Weeks 6-10 while John Bates, Logan Thomas and Cole Turner alternately dealt with injuries. Rogers likely will be tasked with adding weight this offseason and could make a push up the depth chart with no mainstay ahead of him, though he's already 25 and faces an uphill battle to approximate Thomas' unusual career arc (also a college QB, and a late bloomer in the pros).

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Gets first NFL carry
Rotowire
Rogers had a 24-yard carry but no targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Minnesota.
Rogers finished third among Washington's tight ends with 13 snaps (20 percent) but arguably had the biggest contribution with his long gain on an end-around to convert a 3rd-and-short. While unlikely to make much of a dent as a pass catcher this season, the college QB could be part of trick plays on occasion and seems to be a better blocker than one might expect of an undersized, converted tight end. Next up for Rogers are road games against the Eagles (Week 10) and Texans (Week 11).

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Catches three passes
Rotowire
Rogers caught three of three targets for 28 yards Sunday against the Packers, playing 51 percent of offensive snaps in a 23-21 victory.
Logan Thomas (calf) was inactive, John Bates played through a hamstring injury, and Cole Turner was forced out of the game with a concussion. Still, it was a nice showing from Rogers, a college QB who earned a roster spot this summer after going undrafted. While listed at only 225 pounds, Rogers has played just over 50 percent of his snaps as an inline tight end, rather than strictly being used as a pass catcher. He could have a role again Week 8 against the Colts, especially if some combination of Thomas, Bates and Turner is/are limited or absent.

Commanders' Armani Rogers: Gets preseason start
Rotowire
Rogers will start at tight end in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
The undrafted rookie was a college quarterback at UNLV and Ohio. Now, he's essentially the last man standing in an injury-riddled TE room in Washington, with the other healthy body being recently signed Eli Wolf. There's an opportunity for Rogers to see a bunch of targets.
