Overview
- Hayes’ agency, Quattro Sports Group, posted that he is rejoining the Eagles for training camp but the team has not issued an official confirmation.
- The move follows recent hamstring problems in the wide receiver room, with DeVonta Smith missing a practice and rookie Makai Lemon missing multiple sessions.
- Hayes played at Southern Miss and Southeastern Louisiana and was a two-time first-team All‑Southland kick-returner who averaged 30.7 kickoff return yards in college.
- He faces long odds to make the final roster, but training camp snaps and preseason games will be his main chances to show value on offense and special teams.
- This type of short-term signing is common in the NFL as teams test depth in camp and use the preseason to evaluate players before roster cuts.
