The Jets are signing safety Elijah Riley off of the Eagles’ practice squad according to Al Iannazzone of Newsday.
With Marcus Maye headed for injured reserve after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles in the Jets’ loss to the Colts last Thursday night, Riley will fill a need and has in-game experience with Philadelphia.
The 23-year-old Riley was signed by the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2020 after a standout career at Army.
Philadelphia also released cornerback Mac McCain and signed cornerback Craig James to the practice squad.
