Based purely on numbers, I would interpret this as a positive development for Saquon Barkley's status.
After these transactions, the Eagles have 2 RBs on the active roster (Saquon Barkley, Dameon Pierce) and 1 RB on the practice squad (Elijah Mitchell).
They go with 3 for gameday. Unless they add someone else to the practice squad or active roster this week, it's a good sign for Barkley.
The Eagles waived RB Jaydon Blue and waived/injured Carson Steele.
That opens two spots on the active roster.
They signed RB Elijah Mitchell to the Practice Squad and released C James Brockermeyer and RB Ian Wheeler from practice squad.
