Eagles Re-Sign DT Gabe Hall to Practice Squad, Release Jacob Sykes

The move restores interior depth after Hall cleared waivers following a roster squeeze created by the Tank Bigsby trade.

Overview

  • Philadelphia announced Thursday that Gabe Hall returned to the practice squad after clearing waivers, with Jacob Sykes released in a corresponding move.
  • Hall had been waived Tuesday to open an active-roster spot for running back Tank Bigsby, acquired in a trade with the Jaguars.
  • The transaction reverses Wednesday's stopgap addition of Sykes and underscores the team's quick rotation of practice-squad pieces.
  • Hall made the Eagles’ initial 53-man roster and debuted in Week 1, logging five defensive snaps and four on special teams.
  • Eli Ricks, released from the practice squad on Wednesday, remains off the unit as the Eagles emphasize defensive-line depth ahead of Week 2 versus the Chiefs.
