Philadelphia bolsters its pass rush by adding Za'Darius Smith, while also hosting seven players for a workout and signing Patrick Johnson to the 53-man roster. The front office then adds Montrell Johnson and Hollin Pierce to the practice squad, releasing Elijah Cooks from it. A surprising late move sends Tank Bigsby from Jacksonville to Philadelphia to deepen the backfield behind Barkley, Shipley, and Dillon, with Bigsby valued as a potential returner. The RB room now carries extra competition and cost-efficient control for next year, signaling a shift toward versatility and return-game upside.

The moves emphasize Philadelphia's bet on depth over a single-spot fix, with attention turning to Bigsby's kickoff return ability and the RB rotation in Weeks ahead. While Shipley recovers from a rib issue, Bigsby's role will be watched to see if he pushes Shipley or Dillon for touches or if Barkley remains the clear workhorse. In fantasy terms, the Eagles’ backfield dynamics and Bigsby’s special-teams potential create more volatile but intriguing weekly options.

Mike Hilton, veteran corner, worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of Week 2 after a surprising Dolphins cut this offseason.

Cincinnati’s defense is rebuilding with Geno Stone and Jordan Battle under new coordinator Al Golden, while Hilton remains a preferred free-agent option for teams seeking nickel/slot cover skills.

Philly adds Hilton as a potential depth upgrade; his market remains active as clubs assess veteran corners in a crowded field.

JuJu Brents and Jelani Woods moved off waivers amid Colts cuts, landing with Miami and New York respectively, as Week 1 op calendars shift fantasy angles. Brents brings speed and length to a Dolphins secondary short on depth, while Woods adds a 6-7 red-zone and blocking option for the Jets behind rookie Mason Taylor. The ripple effects reach Colts’ defense and the rival backfields, with Miami and New York both adding immediate upside pieces from a notable roster churn.

Colts may pivot corners with a potential Hilton workout hinting at a post-cut shuffle. For fantasy managers, Brents’ health history and Dolphins’ scheme affordability matter; Woods’ role hinges on health and Jets’ usage in two-TE looks. Both moves create opportunities for late-round fliers and defensive-depth considerations in dynasty formats and daily fantasy early weeks.

Miami claimed JuJu Brents off waivers, boosting a thin cornerback room with a high-upside flier who battles a serious injury history. Brents, a 6-3, 189-pound playmaker with 34-inch arms, plus elite agility, joins Rasul Douglas, Jack Jones, Storm Duck and Jason Marshall Jr. as a measured bet for the future. A former Colts second-round pick, Brents has rookie tape of promise but an injury-shortened profile that makes Week 1 unlikely; still, health sparks a potential long-term contributor in a talent-poor group.

Injury disruption aside, Brents carries tantalizing traits for Dolphins coordinator Anthony Weaver to mold. If he can stay on the field, his length and movement could unlock his ceiling and eventually push for outside roles, complementing the young, rising corners in Miami.
