The Eagles elevated rookie linebacker JaCoby Stevens, a sixth-round pick out of LSU, from the practice squad to the active roster in advance of their game Saturday night against the Cowboys.
Stevens made his NFL debut Sunday in the Eagles’ win over Washington, playing 12 special teams snaps. He was the last of the Eagles’ nine rookie draft picks to get into a regular-season game this year.
The Eagles also designated defensive end Cameron Malveaux as a game-day elevation. Malveaux, now with his seventh team since 2017, has played 39 snaps the last two weeks as a practice squad call-up.
