Eagles Sign Erik Ezukanma to Practice Squad as 2 Receivers Face Injury Absences

Summary
Erik Ezukanma rejoined Philadelphia’s practice squad Wednesday, giving the Eagles another wide receiver option after they had only one practice-squad receiver, Xavier Gipson.
Two injury concerns drove the move: DeVonta Smith may miss a second straight game with a hamstring issue, while Hollywood Brown could sit out a third straight with an ankle injury.
Ezukanma, a 2022 fourth-round pick, was with the Eagles from mid-June to late August and showed enough in camp and preseason — 4 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown — to earn another look.
The signing was one of three official transactions, alongside running back Dameon Pierce joining the active roster from the practice squad and center James Brockermeyer signing to the practice squad.
