Eagles Reverse Practice-Squad Moves, Bring Back Eli Ricks and Antwaun Powell-Ryland

The swift turnaround reflects injury-driven depth decisions before Week 5 against Denver.

Overview

  • On Friday morning, Philadelphia re-signed cornerback Eli Ricks and outside linebacker Antwaun Powell-Ryland to the practice squad and released defensive linemen K.J. Henry and Jacob Sykes.
  • The update undid Thursday’s transactions that had added Henry and Sykes while cutting Ricks and Powell-Ryland.
  • Ricks has cycled on and off the unit repeatedly this season, with reporting noting this marks his fourth release before returning.
  • Injuries at edge rusher, including Nolan Smith and Ogbo Okoronkwo on injured reserve, continue to shape short-term decisions on pass-rush depth.
  • Frequent practice-squad churn aligns with elevation rules that let teams adjust game-week depth ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Broncos.
