Earlier this week, the Philadelphia Eagles released practice squad tight end Tanner Muse and signed running back Lew Nichols to their practice squad.
On Saturday, the team officially undid those moves by re-signing Muse and cutting Nichols.
Why the swap?
Well, it seems like the Eagles just wanted to have Nichols around this past week for practice purposes.
With Saquon Barkley resting and Kenny Gainwell missing practice due to the combination of a concussion and a knee injury, the team only had three running backs available to take reps: Will Shipley, Tyrion Davis-Price, and Nichols.
