Today’s practice squad transactions as we head into the weekend:
New York Jets
- Signed: RB Avery Williams
- Released: RB Lawrance Toafili
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed: OLB Antwaun Powell-Ryland, CB Eli Ricks
- Released: DE K.J. Henry, DT Jacob Sykes
Yesterday, the Eagles released Powell-Ryland and Ricks and signed Henry and Sykes, making today a complete undoing of yesterday’s moves. Since failing to make Philadelphia’s initial 53-man roster, Ricks has been signed and released three times, making this his fourth time signing to the taxi squad.
Powell-Ryland is catching up to Ricks after being signed, released, and then signed again in each of the last three days. Similarly, this is Sykes’ second one-day stay on the practice squad, and Henry’s first after joining yesterday. It seems likely that the Eagles have worked out some handshake deals that allow them to keep some regulars nearby to fill out the practice squad without going over the 16-man limit.
