Eagles bring back offensive lineman to practice squad, cut ex-Alabama standout
With five games remaining, the Eagles have shuffled their practice squad and 53-man roster to make certain position groups stronger. On Wednesday, Philadelphia re-signed offensive lineman Brett Toth to its practice squad and released former Alabama center Ross Pierschbacher.
This will be Toth’s third stint with the organization. In 2019, he signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent. After getting waived at the end of training camp, the Arizona Cardinals claimed the Army product. Nearly a year later, Toth returned to the Eagles via waivers.

Toth started one game in 17 appearances since 2020. The 6-foot-6 offensive lineman, who transitioned from tackle to center, spent seven weeks on Philadelphia’s practice squad before getting signed by the Panthers on Oct.24. In his short tenure with Carolina, he started one game at guard against the Titans in Week 12.
Toth’s versatility should help the Eagles if any injuries occur upfront. He joins two other offensive lineman on the Eagles’ practice squad: offensive tackle Le’Raven Clark and guard Lecitus Smith.
