Before the Eagles embark on their playoff jersey, they decided to take a page out of the Bills defensive playbook.
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles have signed safety Lewis Cine to the 53-man roster, the team announced on Wednesday. Cine, a 2022 first-round round of the Vikings, has spent the entire 2024 season on the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad after being released by Minnesota at the end of training camp.
After his college career, Cine was selected with the No. 32 pick in the 2022 NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings. In his rookie year, he suffered a lower leg injury that ended his season. After two years in Minnesota, Cine was released before the 2024 season began and was added to the Bills practice squad a few days later.
