Eagles Plan for Recent Signing of Ex-Colts Pro Bowl DB Revealed
The move gives the 2021 Pro Bowler a chance to learn the defense and be elevated on game day, according to reports.
- On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Eagles signed veteran cornerback Kenny Moore II to their practice squad on a one-year deal worth as much as $3 million, according to NFL Network.
- Moore spent his entire nine-year career with the Indianapolis Colts before the team released him in May after the two parties mutually agreed to seek a trade but failed to find a suitor.
- This move reunites the 5-foot-9 defender with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, who previously served as the Colts' offensive coordinator; Moore recorded 21 interceptions and 649 tackles across 132 games.
- A practice squad spot opened after the Atlanta Falcons signed cornerback Robert Longerbeam off the Eagles' roster, allowing Philadelphia to add Moore with plans to deploy him at safety and nickel corner.
- While the 2-0 Eagles secured the veteran, multiple clubs including the Detroit Lions had expressed interest as teams absorbed defensive injuries, positioning Moore's addition as a competitive roster move.
