The Eagles activated cornerback Jakorian Bennett from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The team also placed cornerback Jaire Alexander on the Reserve/Retired list.
Bennett, who was traded to the Eagles from the Raiders during Training Camp, was placed on IR after Philadelphia's Week 3 victory over the Rams with a pectoral injury. The 2023 fourth-round pick has played 24 defensive snaps for the Eagles this season, registering six tackles and one pass defensed.
The Eagles' starters at cornerback last week against the Packers were Quinyon Mitchell and Adoree' Jackson on the outside with Cooper DeJean in the slot. Kelee Ringo has also made two starts this season for Philadelphia on the outside. Rookie Mac McWilliams and Michael Carter II, whom the Eagles traded for from the Jets ahead of the trade deadline, are the other players in the cornerback room.
With Alexander, who the Eagles recently acquired, moving to the Reserve/Retired list, Philadelphia did not need to open a spot on the 53-man roster. — Written by Matt Ryan
