Philadelphia Eagles Release DB Parry Nickerson, LB Titus Leo From Practice Squad Ahead Of Bye Week

The Philadelphia Eagles have released veteran defensive back Parry Nickerson from their active roster as they prepare to make room for returning players from injury, including cornerback Jakorian Bennett and edge defenders Brandon Graham and Nolan Smith. Nickerson, a six-year NFL veteran and former sixth-round pick by the Jets, has appeared in five games for the Eagles this season, primarily serving as a backup slot corner and special teams contributor. The move coincides with the Eagles’ bye week and the need to manage roster spots ahead of their next game against Green Bay. Alongside Nickerson's release, the team also released linebacker Titus Leo from the practice squad to clear space for potential re-signing moves. The Eagles are anticipating the return of key defensive players, which may require additional roster adjustments to accommodate their reintegration. Nickerson’s release underscores the team's strategy to optimize their roster as they approach a critical stretch of the season.
