INJURIES

Sent back to practice squad Nichols reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Nichols received his first elevation of the campaign ahead of Sunday's win over Indianapolis and recorded six snaps on special teams, making one tackle on kick coverage. That marked his first regular-season NFL action after being drafted by Green Bay in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Elevated for first time Nichols was elevated from the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Impact Nichols has been on the Steelers' practice squad all season. If he is active for game day and enters Sunday's game against the Colts, it will mark his first regular-season snaps as a pro. Per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Nichols will line up for a special teams role, if active.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Sticks with Pitt on practice squad Nichols signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Wednesday.
Impact Nichols went unclaimed on waivers, opening the door for him to remain in the Steelers organization as a depth option. He'll be joined on the practice squad by Trey Sermon while Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell begin the season on the 53-man roster.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't make 53-man roster The Steelers waived Nichols on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Impact The 2023 seventh-rounder caught on with the Steelers in late July after being let go by the Eagles. He finished the preseason with 11 carries for 87 yards and five catches (on eight targets) for 36 yards. Nichols' efforts weren't enough to crack the 53-man roster, and he'll have the opportunity to sign with a team in need of backfield depth if he clears waivers.

Back with Philly The Eagles signed Nichols on Tuesday.
Impact Nichols spent chunks of the 2024 season on the Eagles' practice squad but was cut again ahead of the Super Bowl win over the Chiefs. A seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2023 Draft, Nichols has yet to appear in a regular-season game in the NFL. He'll compete for a job this offseason.

Parts ways with Philadelphia again The Eagles cut Nichols from their practice squad Saturday.
Impact It's been a roller-coaster season for Nichols, who was first cut by the Eagles in late August after spending the offseason on a reserve/future contract. He was signed to Philadelphia's practice squad in late December but was cut five days later, and he then re-signed to the practice squad this past Thursday before being let go again Saturday. Tight end Nick Muse was brought back to the Eagles' practice squad Saturday in a corresponding move.

Signed to Eagles' practice squad Philadelphia signed Nichols to the practice squad Thursday.
Impact The 2023 seventh-round pick spent most of the 2024 regular season as a free agent after failing to make the Eagles' 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August. He had a brief stint on Philadelphia's practice squad in late December, but he subsequently let go on New Year's Eve. Nichols' addition to the Eagles' practice squad provides depth at running back due to Kenneth Gainwell being in concussion protocol while also working through a knee injury. The Eagles cut tight end Nick Muse in order to make room for Nichols on the practice squad.

No longer on Philly's practice squad The Eagles cut Nichols from their practice squad Tuesday.
Impact Nichols had just signed to Philadelphia's practice squad last Thursday, but he didn't stick around long. The second-year running back hasn't yet made his NFL debut after being selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft by Green Bay. Nichols is likely to seek an opportunity with a different organization.

Back with Philadelphia The Eagles signed Nichols to the practice squad Thursday.
Impact Nichols spent most of the 2023 regular season on the Eagles' practice squad after being let go with an injury settlement by the Packers in September of 2023. He failed to make Philadelphia's 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he will join the Eagles' practice squad after spending most of the 2024 campaign without a team. Shipley could be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys if third-string running back Will Shipley (concussion) is not cleared to play.
