Eagles' forgotten veteran earns promotion amid Landon Dickerson injury

He’s the guy who’s been here longer than some of the suites at the Linc, the ultimate NFL survivor.

Not the star quarterback. But the guy clinging to the roster’s edge, year after year. More like a baseball utility infielder. Always ready, rarely starting. But somehow indispensable. In Philadelphia, that man wears number 64.

Brett Toth’s Eagles tenure began when Doug Pederson roamed the sidelines and Alshon Jeffery caught passes. Six seasons, eight releases, and countless practice squad stints later, he’s still here. While stars rise and fall, Toth endures.

And now that patience is about to meet opportunity.
