Cain was let go by the Eagles on Saturday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Cain had one of his better performances of the preseason during Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Colts, catching six of nine targets for 62 yards. However, it wasn't enough to secure a spot ahead of the team's final roster cuts at the end of August. Cain has not recorded a regular-season reception since 2020, and, if the Eagles do not opt to offer him a spot on the practice squad, then the 27-year-old will likely look to sign a contract elsewhere heading into the 2023 campaign.

Eagles' Deon Cain: Returns from injury
Rotowire
Cain (ankle) was targeted three times but did not record a catch in the Eagles' preseason game against the Browns on Thursday.
Cain signed with the Eagles in July before leaving an early training camp practice with an ankle injury. The 2018 sixth-round pick of the Colts spent time on Philadelphia's practice squad the last two seasons. The wide receiver has nine catches for 124 yards in 14 career games.
Cain (ankle) did not participate in Eagles camp Tuesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Cain was signed by Philadelphia less than one week ago after spending time on the team's practice squad over the past two seasons. The 2018 sixth-round pick hasn't seen the NFL field since 2020 and has caught nine passes for 124 yards in his career.
The Eagles worked out three receivers Tuesday, and only Cain got a deal. The 26-year-old spent time on Philadelphia's practice squad the last two seasons and has not seen NFL action since 2020. Now that he's in the fold, Cain will compete for a depth spot in a wideout corps currently headed by A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins and Olamide Zaccheaus.
Cain was officially cut from the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday.
Cain spent training camp with Philadelphia and was added to the team's practice squad after not making their 53-man roster. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2020 with the Steelers, but he'll continue to work to earn an opportunity to play again.
The Eagles signed Cain to their practice squad Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
As expected, Cain returns to the Eagles via a practice squad deal after going unclaimed through waivers. The 6-foot-2 wideout caught eight passes for 106 yards across three preseason games.
Cain was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Cain reeled in eight catches for 106 yards in three games this preseason, but he wasn't able to crack the Eagles' final roster. The wide receiver will likely have many teams interested in him, but if he goes unclaimed on waivers, he could end up back with the Eagles' practice squad to open the 2022 campaign.
Cain signed a reserve/future contract with the Eagles on Tuesday.
Cain joined the Eagles' practice squad in mid-October after spending training camp with the Ravens and going down with an injury. He appeared in 15 games between 2019 and 2020 with the Colts and Steelers, and caught nine passes for 124 yards.
