The Eagles on Wednesday evening made a roster move, promoting Tre Sullivan from the practice squad and waiving DT T.Y. McGill with a failed physical designation.
The Eagles just claimed McGill but his time with the Eagles comes to an almost immediate end.
While the Eagles will now be short again at defensive tackle at least they’ll have some more safety depth.
They were about to enter this game with Malcolm Jenkins, Avonte Maddox, Deiondre’ Hall and Rasul Douglas as their full complement of players able to fill in at safety. At least Sullivan gives them another option as Corey Graham will miss this game with a hamstring injury.
Sullivan was a rookie last season and spent that year on the practice squad. He made the 53-man roster out of training camp and played in the season opener, but was cut and sent to the practice squad to create a spot for Hall.
At least the Eagles are 1-0 with Sullivan on the roster this year.
