The Eagles added long snapper Christian Johnstone on Sunday and waived defensive back B.J. Mayes.

Johnstone played five seasons at Appalachian State before going undrafted in 2025. Johnstone was invited to Denver Broncos Rookie Minicamp.

The addition of Johnstone comes ahead of Philadelphia's preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Johnstone joins Charley Hughlett as the only other long snapper on the roster, but Hughlett was limited at Sunday's practice due to a neck injury.
