The Philadelphia Eagles announced Saturday that they’ve promoted DT Justin Hamilton to the active roster and waived S Trae Elston.

Hamilton, 24, originally signed on with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Louisiana-Lafayette back in 2015. He lasted just a few months in Buffalo before catching on with the Packers during the 2015 season.

Hamilton later signed on to the Seahawks’ practice squad and returned to Seattle on a future/reserve contract a year ago but was on and off of their practice squad throughout the 2016 season.

The Eagles signed Hamilton to a futures deal this past January before cutting him loose coming out of the preseason and later signing him to their practice squad.
