C.J. Uzomah: Gets cut loose
Uzomah was released by the Eagles on Wednesday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Uzomah's exit comes as a bit of a surprise after signing a one-year contract with the team in April. His departure will leave Albert Okwuegbunam, E.J. Jenkins, Kevin Foelsch and Armani Rogers battling for what will likely be one or two spots on the Eagles' final 53-man roster at tight end.

Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Participating in OTAs
Uzomah (knee) was seen participating at the Eagles' organized training activities Friday, Dave Zangaro of nbcsportsphiladelphia.com reports.
Uzomah's 2023 campaign came to an early end after suffering a knee injury in December and subsequently being placed on the Jets' injured reserve. He was ultimately released by New York before later landing in Philadelphia. His participation at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par. The veteran is expected to compete for the Eagles' No. 2 tight end role behind Dallas Goedert.

Eagles' C.J. Uzomah: Agrees to terms with Philadelphia
Uzomah (knee) agreed to a one-year contract with the Eagles on Thursday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
After spending the first nine years of his career with the Bengals and Jets, Uzomah has found a new home in Philadelphia. The nine-year veteran appeared in the Jets' first 12 games in 2023 before sustaining a season-ending MCL injury. In those contests, Uzomah tallied eight receptions for 58 yards and one touchdown. Once 31-year-old has recovered from his MCL issue, he's expected to compete for the Eagles' top backup tight end role behind Dallas Goedert.

C.J. Uzomah: To be released by Jets
The Jets are releasing Uzomah (knee) to clear $5.3 million in cap space, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The 31-year-old tight end caught 29 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns in 27 games after signing a three-year, $24 million contract with the Jets in March of 2022. Uzomah finished the 2023 season on injured reserve with an MCL injury, and he'll likely have to compete for a backup job if he wants to continue his NFL career.

Jets' C.J. Uzomah: Likely to be released by New York
Uzomah (knee) is expected to be released by the Jets this offseason, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
The veteran tight end finished the 2023 season on injured reserve after spraining his MCL in Week 13. His signing has proved to be a disaster for Jets GM Joe Douglas, as Uzomah has produced just 29 catches for 290 yards and three touchdowns across 27 contests with the team. Entering the final year of a three-year, $24 million deal, Uzomah is due an $8 million salary in 2024. The Jets can save $5.3 million against the cap by releasing the 31-year-old, leaving behind over $5.9 million in dead money.

Jets' C.J. Uzomah: Officially placed on IR
The Jets placed Uzomah (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Uzomah's move to IR comes after he sustained a sprained MCL of his right knee in the Jets' Week 13 loss to the Falcons. Given that he will have to spend a minimum of four games on IR, Uzomah won't be eligible to take the field until Week 18 against the Patriots, though the Jets could opt to shut him down for the season if the team is eliminated from playoff contention. The Jets activated tight end Kenny Yeboah (hamstring) from IR in a corresponding transaction.

Jets' C.J. Uzomah: Expected to go on IR
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Uzomah (knee) will go on injured reserve.
Uzomah sprained his MCL in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. Once he's officially placed on injured reserve, he'll be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks, so he won't be eligible to play before Week 18 against the Patriots. Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert had already been working ahead of Uzomah and will remain New York's top two tight ends.
