Signs with Philly The Eagles re-signed Epps to a one-year contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact After the Eagles traded away safety Sydney Brown on Friday, the team signed both Epps and J.T. Gray to replenish the depth chart. Epps appeared in 12 regular-season games last season, making four starts, and logged 21 tackles (18 solo) across 250 defensive snaps and another 199 on special teams.

Tallies 21 tackles with Philly Epps recorded 21 tackles (18 solo) while playing 12 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.

Impact Epps joined the Eagles after playing just three games for the Raiders in 2024. He played almost exclusively on special teams over the first eight weeks and then missed four games on IR with a shoulder injury, but the 30-year-old finished the season in a starting role after rookie Andrew Makuba went down with an ankle issue. Epps has played 15 regular-season games over the past two seasons, and he is set to become a free agent this offseason.

Clears concussion protocol Epps (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card round matchup with the 49ers.

Impact Epps logged consecutive full practices to end the week and has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to start in Sunday's playoff clash. The 29-year-old is set to reclaim his starting role from fellow safety Sydney Brown, who will likely see fewer defensive snaps in Sunday's contest.

Logs full practice Epps (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Epps was limited in practice Wednesday, so while it remains uncertain whether he's yet officially cleared the concussion protocol he's certainly trending in the right direction in his recovery. The starting safety will look to attain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, and suit up for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers.

Limited with concussion Epps (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Epps was unable to play in last Sunday's loss to the Commanders due to a concussion he sustained in last week's practice. The free safety's upgrade to limited practice participation means he is already advancing through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and could be available for Sunday's playoff game against the 49ers. The 29-year-old veteran has two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation and be cleared of any concussion symptoms by one of the league's independent neurologists.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out with concussion Epps (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Epps was a new addition to Friday's injury report with a concussion he likely suffered in Thursday or Friday's practice session. Michael Carter or Sydney Brown will likely start at free safety in Epps' absence. With the starter's concussion occurring so late in the week, the 29-year-old is in danger of missing the Eagles' first playoff game as well, so defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will likely be watching Carter and Brown's Sunday performances closely.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up as starter Epps is warming up as a starting safety alongside Reed Blankenship prior to Monday's game against the Chargers, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Impact Epps was activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers and looks likely to step into a significant role immediately. He has played almost exclusively on special teams in his previous eight games this season, but Andrew Mukuba's (ankle) injury has created an opportunity at safety.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR Epps (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve by the Eagles on Monday.

Impact Epps will make his return to action Monday night against the Chargers following a four-game absence with a shoulder issue. The 29-year-old will be back in his role as a top reserve option behind Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown at safety versus Los Angeles.
