The Philadelphia Eagles signed Sua Opeta to their practice squad on Monday, according to an official team announcement.
Opeta was waived by the Eagles on Friday afternoon. The team needed to open up some roster spots with C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Robert Quinn returning from injured reserve in addition to Brett Kern running out of practice squad elevations.
The Eagles are happy to see that Opeta was not claimed. It’s a little surprising that no one decided to add him to their roster, although his impending restricted free agent status was likely a deterrent.
