Eagles announce 6 roster moves as team begins preparation for wild card matchup vs. Bucs

After activating 11 players from off of the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the Eagles announced 5 more roster moves, including one personnel decision that head coach Nick Sirianni actually backpedaled on.

Philadelphia placed three players on injured reserve, while also adding a player to the active roster, and waiving two players from the practice squad.

Sirianni initially said he was unsure about getting Huntley onto the active roster to help on special teams.

The playoffs are all about field position and Huntley could be a major improvement over Jalen Reagor in the return game.
