Overview

  • The workout was first reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, with no deal announced.
  • Hilton, 31, is a longtime nickel defender with the Steelers and Bengals, totaling 13 interceptions and 11.5 sacks in 123 games.
  • He signed with the Dolphins in late July and was released before final cuts, then worked out for the Colts without an agreement.
  • Philadelphia recently waived offensive lineman Kenyon Green, creating an open spot on the 53-man roster.
  • The evaluation comes as the Eagles reassess cornerback roles after Adoree' Jackson struggled in Week 1, with reports noting a potential need for veteran slot depth.
