Eagles Sign Former Packers RB AJ Dillon on One-Year Deal

The 26-year-old running back joins Philadelphia after being medically cleared following a neck injury that sidelined him for the entire 2024 season.

  • AJ Dillon, a former second-round pick for the Green Bay Packers, has signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
  • Dillon missed the entire 2024 season due to a neck injury but has been medically cleared to return for the 2025 season.
  • The Eagles aim to bolster their rushing depth, with Dillon expected to back up Saquon Barkley following Kenneth Gainwell's departure to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
  • Dillon has accumulated 2,428 rushing yards and 18 total touchdowns over his career but has struggled to secure a consistent starting role.
  • Philadelphia's strong offensive line and Dillon's physical attributes offer potential for him to revitalize his career in a high-performing offense.
