The Philadelphia Eagles presented some good news and some not so great news.

Starting with the good news, the Eagles have re-signed cornerback Eli Ricks to the practice squad. Ricks returns after two seasons on the roster and was recently cut from the team. He has 21 career tackles in 23 games with the Eagles.

Here comes the bad news: the former undrafted corner out of Alabama had to replace another undrafted player on the practice squad. That led to the Eagles having to release rookie offensive lineman Hollin Pierce.

We've signed CB Eli Ricks to the practice squad and released OL Hollin Pierce.
