Rotowire
Castro-Fields (hamstring) did not practice Monday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Castro-Fields was one of five Eagles not practicing Monday, following Saturday's preseason loss to Cleveland. The 2022 sixth-round pick has tallied one tackle and two pass deflections in the preseason while trying to crack the 53-man roster in a cornerback room led by Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.

49ers' Tariq Castro-Fields: Final pick of Round 6
Rotowire
The 49ers selected Castro-Fields in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 221st overall.
Castro-Fields has prototypical size and speed, as he measured in at 6-foot-1, 197 pounds with a 4.38 40-yard dash and 37-inch vertical. A four-year starter at Penn State, Castro-Fields was comfortable playing press corner on the outside but struggled with his consistency. He embraces physicality and could carve out a special-teams role as he sharpens his cornerback play to fit the next level.
