Majors joins the active roster, with center Drew Kendall ruled out with a knee injury. His addition gives the Eagles another option inside as they adjust to the trade that sent Cam Jurgens to Baltimore. The roster move does not establish who will start at center Sunday.
Steele provides another backfield option, with Saquon Barkley ruled out with a hamstring injury and Tank Bigsby on injured reserve. Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce can also help handle the workload in Barkley's absence.
The additions give Philadelphia more flexibility as it prepares to face Jacksonville with a depleted offense. The Eagles enter Week 5 at 2-2 and are seeking to end a two-game losing streak.
