The Eagles brought back a familiar face to the practice squad when they signed defensive end Tarron Jackson on Thursday.
To make room for him, the team released quarterback Will Grier from the practice squad.
Jackson (6-2, 254) originally was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Coastal Carolina. He played in every game as a rookie, contributing with 17 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble in 253 snaps on defense.
He split time between the active roster and the practice squad of the NFC Champions in 2022, playing in five total games, including playoffs. Jackson was on the practice squad for the entirety of the 2023 campaign. He battled for a roster spot in this year's Training Camp and preseason, but was released during the final roster cutdown.
Jackson was promptly signed to Carolina's practice squad and eventually promoted to the active roster before being waived on October 15. He played in three games for the Panthers, logging 28 snaps on defense.
The Eagles signed Grier in free agency this offseason. Grier previously played for Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore both in Dallas and in Los Angeles with the Chargers. The former third-round pick of the Panthers started two games for Carolina in his rookie season of 2019.
The bitter rivals have played each other 130 times, since the series started in 1960. Relive the greatest games and moments from one of the most historic battles in the NFL before the two square off on Sunday afternoon.
