The Eagles filled their open spot on the practice squad on Wednesday, signing veteran outside linebacker Patrick Johnson.

Johnson (6-foot-2, 248 pounds) was released from the active roster on Tuesday.

In seven games this season, Johnson has three tackles, one sack, six QB pressures, and two QB hits. He's played 22 percent of the defensive snaps this season, which is the highest rate of his career.

Originally selected by the Eagles in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Tulane, Johnson has spent time with the Eagles in all five of his NFL seasons. He was with the Giants for the majority of the 2024 campaign, when he played in 12 games for New York.

Overall, Johnson has played in 68 career regular-season games (another five in the playoffs) and posted 26 tackles, 25 QB pressures and hits, and a sack. He's also contributed an additional 18 special teams tackles.
