The Philadelphia Eagles announced Saturday that they’ve activated CB Avonte Maddox from Injured Reserve and placed TE Albert Okwuegbunam on Injured Reserve.
The Eagles also elevated LB Brandon Smith to their active roster.
Maddox, 27, was a fourth-round pick by the Eagles out of Pittsburgh back in the 2018 NFL Draft. He played out a four-year, $3,085,914 rookie contract with the Eagles, that included a $625,914 signing bonus, $625,914 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $771,479.
Maddox later agreed to terms on a three-year, $22.5 million extension that includes $13.3 million in guaranteed money and will keep him in Philadelphia through 2024.
In 2023, Maddox appeared in two games and recorded eight tackles, one tackle for loss, two pass defenses, and one forced fumble.
