On Monday, the Eagles made two practice squad moves: they released offensive lineman Braeden Daniels and signed free agent linebacker Dallas Gant.
Gant, a former college teammate of Philadelphia’s 2024 first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell, played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Toledo Rockets. After the 2024 NFL draft, the Vikings signed him as an undrafted free agent.

Gant transferred from Ohio State to Toledo and flourished with the Rockets, logging 11 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, a pass deflection, and a forced fumble as he helped the Rockets beat LIU 37–0 in his debut. Gant finished his breakout 2022 season with 116 tackles, 5.5 tackles a loss, five pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.
Gant was signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL draft and was also selected by the DC Defenders in the seventh round of the 2024 UFL draft in July.
Gant was waived by Minnesota in August and signed to the practice squad before being released last month.
