The Eagles signed defensive tackle Jacob Sykes to the practice squad and released cornerback Eli Ricks from the practice squad.

Sykes went undrafted in 2023 out of UCLA and signed with the Seattle Seahawks. Sykes spent time with the San Antonio Brahmas of the United Football League after he was waived by the Seahawks.

The Eagles signed Sykes on July 22, and he stayed with the team before being waived on roster cutdown day.

Ricks made the Eagles' 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and spent the last two seasons with the team. He was waived on roster cutdown day and most recently re-signed with the practice squad on September 3. — Written by Matt Ryan
