Eagles announce roster move ahead of Week 10 vs Cowboys
The Philadelphia Eagles made some roster moves ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
The team released offensive lineman Braeden Daniels from the practice squad and filled that void by signing linebacker Dallas Gant.
Gant comes to Philly knowing a familiar face in Eagles' first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell as the two played together at Toledo.
An Ohio native, Gant initially went undrafted out of Toledo following the 2024 NFL Draft and was picked up by the Minnesota Vikings where he spent the first half of the season on the practice squad before being waived last week.
Before entering the NFL, Gant played six seasons at the collegiate level, including four at Ohio State and two at Toledo. In his last two years as a Rocket, he earned back-to-back first-team All-MAC honors and led his team in tackles with 232, including 23.5 tackles for loss, one sack, an interception, seven pass breakups, and three forced fumbles.
The Eagles could be without linebacker Ben VanSumeren this week after he suffered a concussion in Week 9's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
That means Gant will provide extra emergency depth behind Nakobe Dean and Zach Baun as the Birds get ready to take on their biggest NFC East rival.
