Marcus Epps returns to Philadelphia, reuniting with the Eagles after a Patriots release and a prior run with the club from 2019–2022. He’s a 29-year-old veteran who started all 17 games for the Raiders in 2023 and battled a torn ACL in 2024. The signing shores up safety depth behind Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown, as Drew Mukuba recovers from camp injuries and battles for a starting slot. The move will require a 53-man roster adjustment if he joins the active squad, but it injects meaningful experience into a room still sorting its base-package roles.

Expect Epps to contribute on special teams and serve as a prudent, versatile depth piece who could slide into a larger role if injuries or performance push Brown or Mukuba to the sideline. Philadelphia’s camp showcased competition at safety, and Epps’ familiarity with the system could tip the balance in a season that tests the roster depth behind Blankenship.
