Philadelphia Eagles sign former Vikings first round pick Lewis Cine off the Bills practice squad ahead of wild card game vs. the Green Bay Packers

The Eagles are adding depth to the secondary ahead of Wild Card weekend, signing Lewis Cine to the active roster. The former Vikings first-round pick and Byron Young were added to the roster, and his practice window was opened.

Cine was selected by Minnesota 32nd overall in the 2022 draft and joined the Bills practice squad after being released by the Vikings last summer. He broke his leg during his rookie season and was limited to playing 10 defensive snaps in 10 games over his two years in Minnesota.

The 24-year-old from Haiti is listed at 6-foot-2 and 199 pounds and is a low-risk signing after a decorated college career at Georgia. Cine earned defensive MVP honors in Georgia’s 33-18 win over Alabama in the national championship game in the 2021 season.
