The Philadelphia Eagles had 10 Alabama alumni on their preseason roster. The Eagles kept seven for their regular-season roster on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, Philadelphia brought back for its practice squad two of the former Crimson Tide players it had cut.
The Eagles re-signed tight end Cameron Latu and cornerback Eli Ricks for practice-squad duty.
Each NFL team can have a practice squad of 16 players. Members of the practice squad do everything the players on the active roster do except play in games.
But two practice-squad members can be elevated to active status for each game, although no player can be elevated from the practice squad more than three times in a season.
The former Alabama player not brought back by the Eagles was running back Keilan Robinson.
Latu and Ricks were among seven Alabama players re-signed on Wednesday for the practice squad of the team that had just cut them. The other Alabama players joining practice squads were:
- Wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks with the Washington Commanders
- Tight end C.J. Dippre with the New England Patriots
- Safety/linebacker Ronnie Harrison with the Atlanta Falcons
- Wide receiver Traeshon Holden with the Dallas Cowboys
- Center Seth McLaughlin with the Cincinnati Bengals
