Eagles sign Michael Jacquet to the roster, bring Adrian Killins back to the practice squad

The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the following transactions on Tuesday morning:

• CB Michael Jacquet signed from the practice squad to the active roster.
• RB Adrian Killins signed to the practice squad.

MICHAEL JACQUET

The Eagles previously elevated Jacquet, a 2020 undrafted rookie free agent signing, to the game day roster for each of their past two matchups. They did so to give themselves more depth at outside cornerback behind Darius Slay and Avonte Maddox.

With Slay getting hurt in Week 8, Jacquet was forced into playing time and he didn’t embarrass himself out there. He actually almost picked off Ben DiNucci at one point. Jacquet only saw one special teams snap in Week 9.

Craig James going on injured reserve (again) opened up a spot for Jacquet on the active roster. He’s another Slay or Maddox injury away from potentially seeing playing time.

ADRIAN KILLINS

The Eagles waived Killins last Monday in order to make room for Treyvon Hester on the practice squad. The undrafted rookie speedster is back in the fold now, though. The Eagles seem to like his developmental potential.

The Eagles will likely designate some practice squad protections later today. I know you can’t wait for those to drop so stay tuned to Bleeding Green Nation.
