The Philadelphia Eagles made two roster moves just a few hours away from Monday night kickoff against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

The team elevated safety Tristin McCollum and cornerback Mekhi Garner.

The extra secondary help makes sense with safety Sydney Brown out due to a torn ACL and Reed Blankenship questionable with a groin injury. 

McCollum was called up three times during the regular season, playing 37 snaps on special teams where he logged six tackles for the Birds. 

Tonight is extra special since McCollum's twin brother, Zyon McCollum, is a backup cornerback for the Buccaneers. 

As for Garner, he was also elevated three times this season and contributed on special teams. 

Although the rookie corner didn't register a tackle in the regular season, he made quite the impression during the 2023 preseason when he forced a fumble against the Baltimore Ravens.
