The Eagles reshaped their practice squad again, adding Audric Estime and Ambry Thomas while releasing Eli Ricks and Terrace Marshall. Willie Lampkin moved to injured reserve to open a 53-man spot. Estime, a 2024 fifth-rounder from Notre Dame, brings big-back depth with rookie-season production to spare. Thomas adds veteran CB depth after a versatile career. Philadelphia also eyes Javon Baker for the PS, while discussions hinge on promoting Andre’ Sam or Marcus Epps at safety as the position gets lean. Castro-Fields’ injury settlement closes a chapter on a prior depth piece.

Quicks moves like these signal the Eagles’ ongoing, opportunistic roster churn aimed at staying flexible into September. The defense and special-teams cores gain depth, while the offense keeps options open behind a primary lineup. Expect the PS to fuel a few 53-man shuffles, with a likely elevation if Baker passes, and safeties Sam or Epps stepping in if rookie Drew Mukuba remains limited by hamstring issues.

The Indianapolis Colts faced a setback after claiming former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ambry Thomas off waivers. He failed his physical due to a lingering forearm injury, preventing his signing with the team.

Thomas, drafted 102nd overall in 2021, had a promising tenure with the 49ers, showcasing his skills last season. His addition could have bolstered the Colts' struggling defensive backfield, especially with injuries affecting their roster.

Fortunately, the Colts anticipate the return of second-year corner JuJu Brents, who is set to rejoin the lineup as they prepare to face the Tennessee Titans this Sunday.

The Indianapolis Colts have acquired cornerback Ambry Thomas from the San Francisco 49ers after he was waived. A third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Thomas had a promising start with the 49ers, including five starts in his rookie season and significant contributions during the playoffs.

Despite being on injured reserve since August due to a forearm injury, Thomas's addition comes as the Colts assess their cornerback depth, especially after claiming Samuel Womack III earlier this season. The Colts are evaluating their options with three games left in the season.
