The Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their lineup by elevating defensive back Tristin McCollum and linebacker Brandon Smith, a Penn State Nittany Lion, from the practice squad for their game against the New York Giants. McCollum, who will be playing on special teams for the first time since Week 4, and Smith, making his Eagles debut, were both noted for their roles on kickoff coverage, with McCollum at L2 and Smith at R2. Smith's 'vast skillset' is expected to be an asset as injuries continue to affect the team. In a similar move, the Baltimore Ravens have elevated linebacker Jeremiah Moon and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell from their practice squad for today's game, with both moves being motivated by the need to fill special teams spots due to player absences.

The Eagles elevated Tristan McCollum and Brandon Smith for Monday's game. McCollum gives the Eagles depth in the secondary and help on special teams. Smith, a 2022 4th-round pick by the Panthers, will make his debut with the Eagles. LB depth and special teams.

#Eagles’ Brandon Smith has a ‘vast skillset’ and could be the next linebacker to step up as injuries continue. @EJSmith94: https://t.co/EyXiUhysw3
