Analysis: Swoopes spent the last few weeks of the 2020 season on Washington's practice squad, but he wasn't called up to the active roster. The 26-year-old tight end last played in 2019 with the Seahawks, and he has just seven NFL games on his resume through four years in the league.

Swoopes was waived by the Eagles on Thursday.
Analysis: Swoopes signed with the team only a week ago but already finds himself on the outs as the Eagles made their first wave of cuts Thursday. The former Seahawk prides himself as being a run-blocking tight end and his veteran experience could help him secure a landing spot elsewhere before Week 1.

The Eagles signed Swoopes on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Swoopes spent the last three seasons playing a minimal run-blocking role in Seattle. He stands to compete for a similar reserve gig in Philadelphia, with Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert locked in as the uncontested top two options at tight end.

Swoopes finished the 2019 season with one catch for five yards over six games.
Analysis: Swoopes was brought up from the practice squad after Will Dissly went down with a season-ending Achilles injury and Luke Willson sustained a serious hamstring injury. Jacob Hollister, who will be a restricted free agent in March, served as the No. 1 tight end and will likely stick around in 2020 while Dissly gets healthy. Swoopes will be an exclusive-rights free agent, and he's not a lock to make the 53-man roster.

Swoopes was promoted to the Seahawks' 53-man roster Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The 25-year-old appeared in one game with Seattle in each of the last two seasons, catching his lone target for 23 yards. Swoopes could serve as the No. 2 tight end Sunday in Philadelphia if Luke Willson (hamstring) is unable to play.

Swoopes (lower leg) was unable to practice Tuesday and was spotted in a walking boot, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Swoopes picked up the injury, as the team didn't place him on the PUP or NFI list heading into training camp. Even though he's in a boot, it's still tough to tell how severe the injury is, as Swoopes could be wearing it as a precaution to a lesser injury. In any event, the Texas product will hope to get healthy soon as he faces an uphill battle to make the roster.

Analysis: Swoopes played one game for the Seahawks last season and recorded just two offensive snaps. With Will Dissly (knee) out for the season and Ed Dickson (quadriceps) remaining out until Week 7, Swoopes will be an important addition that may have an opportunity to elevate at some point.
