Eagles sign OL Brett Toth to the practice squad

Philadelphia Eagles sign OL Brett Toth to the practice squad

The Eagles are bringing back Brett Toth. The versatile offensive lineman is re-signing to the team’s practice squad after being released on Tuesday.

James Bradberry was placed on Injured Reserve Thursday, freeing up a roster spot for Oren Burks, who was promoted from the practice squad. Burks promotion freed up space for Toth to return.

Toth spent Training Camp and the preseason with the Eagles. He was released during the roster cutdown. The versatile lineman lined up primarily at guard and center in Training Camp, earning reps with the first-team unit when other players were out of the lineup.

Toth has a long history with the Eagles. Originally signed as a rookie free agent out of the Army in 2019, Toth first saw regular-season action for the Eagles in 2020, playing in six games with a start. In his five seasons with the Eagles, Cardinals, and Panthers, Toth has suited up in 20 games while starting two of those contests.

Eagles place James Bradberry on injured reserve with a leg injury

Philadelphia Eagles to place James Bradberry on injured reserve with a leg injury

James Bradberry made the Eagles’ 53-man roster, but his celebration will be short-lived. The former Pro Bowl cornerback turned safety will miss nearly two months with a leg injury.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Bradberry will be placed on injured reserve after he suffered a tendon injury in Wednesday’s practice. The injury won’t require surgery but needs 6-8 weeks of recovery.

Bradberry made the 53-man roster as a player and veteran that GM Howie Roseman “can rely on,” he provided Philadelphia with a player who could play multiple positions.

On Tuesday, general manager Howie Roseman said Bradberry’s move to safety has gone smoothly. They kept him on the roster because, in the heat of battle, he’s a player the team can trust.

“James always has had really good football instincts,” Roseman said via the team’s official transcript. “When you see him play safety every day here and see his ability to diagnose his football instincts. I think for all of us, that’s a transition, that’s a different position than playing outside corner.

“He’s got a skill set. It’s a long season. We already know that he’s had tremendous success in this league playing outside corner as well. With the goals that we have for this football team, having a veteran player like that on the roster that we know we can rely on when called upon, we felt like was important.”

The 31-year-old spent his first eight seasons at outside corner, earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2021 and 2022 as a second-team All-Pro. Bradberry struggled mightily in 2023, and the Eagles retooled, drafting two cornerbacks with their first two picks.
