Philadelphia brings Eli Ricks back to its practice squad, reinforcing a cornerback room that has faced injuries and churn. Ricks played 23 games across the last two seasons for the Eagles, posting 3 passes defended and 19 tackles as a rookie, then contributing 2 tackles in 7 games in 2024. He was waived to make room for Jacob Sykes earlier this season, and his return signals a measured investment in depth and development behind the starters.
