The Philadelphia Eagles released defensive tackle Gabe Hall from the practice squad on Tuesday, ending a three-year stay that began as an undrafted free-agent signing out of Baylor, via the NFL transaction wire.
Hall, listed at a towering 6-foot-6 and 295 pounds, first signed with Philadelphia in May 2024 after going unselected in the draft. He spent most of his rookie year on the practice squad and earned a Super Bowl LIX ring when the Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
A reserve/future contract followed, and in 2025 he made the initial 53-man roster. His NFL debut came in the season opener against Dallas, where he played five defensive snaps.
He was waived a week later, cleared waivers, and returned to the practice squad. He was elevated again later that season, including for a Thursday night game against the Giants.
The same pattern repeated in 2026.
Hall signed another reserve/future deal in January, competed through training camp in a crowded interior line room led by Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young, and Ty Robinson, then was waived at final cuts and brought back to the practice squad on August 31.
He never forced his way onto the active roster this season. On September 22 the team announced his release as it signed tight end Zach Ertz to the practice squad and moved to add veteran defensive back Kenny Moore II.
Hall’s size always made him an intriguing developmental piece. At Baylor he was a long, high-ceiling interior presence, and Philadelphia kept him around for two-plus seasons because he knew Vic Fangio’s scheme and could add bulk inside.
What he never showed was enough consistent production to hold a 53-man or even a locked-in practice-squad spot once other options and veteran additions arrived.
Two solo tackles in the 2026 preseason were not enough to separate him from the rest of the group.
The move is a standard midseason roster shuffle more than a surprise.
Practice-squad spots are scarce, and the Eagles chose veteran experience at tight end and in the secondary over another year of developing a third-year tackle who had already been cut and re-signed multiple times.
Hall is now a free agent. At 25, with Super Bowl pedigree and rare length for the position, he could draw interest from teams looking for cheap interior depth.
Whether that is in Philadelphia again or elsewhere, his time on the Eagles’ official roster is over.
