The team also activated OL Kayode Awosika, WR KeeSean Johnson, and DE Cameron Malveaux. They placed DT Marlon Tuipulotu on the COVID-19/Reserve list.
Rodgers, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Packers back in 2014 out of California. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,761,016 contract with the Packers before agreeing to a one-year contract with the Eagles in 2018.
The Eagles re-signed Rodgers to a two-year, $1.9 million in 2019 but later released him with an injury settlement in September. From there, Rodgers joined Washington last offseason but was cut loose and returned to Philadelphia on a one-year deal. Philadelphia re-signed him during training camp and later added him to their practice squad.
In 2021, Rodgers appeared in one game for the Eagles recording two catches for 11 yards.
