The Eagles signed linebacker Anfernee Orji to the team’s practice squad on Thursday. Linebacker Chance Campbell has been placed on the Practice Squad Injured List.

Orji started his NFL career by signing with the New Orleans Saints after going undrafted out of Vanderbilt in 2023. Known for his athletic ability in the pre-draft process, Orji ran a 4.52 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine at 230 pounds. The linebacker spent his rookie season on the Saints’ practice squad in 2023, then made the team’s active roster in 2024, playing in 16 games and recording 30 tackles.

Orji signed with the Titans in 2025, but was waived three months later with an injury designation after tearing his ACL during a 2025 joint practice. The 6-foot-1 linebacker was last with the New York Giants during 2026 Training Camp. Orji’s younger brother, Alex Orji, is currently the starting quarterback at the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV). Their older brother, Alston Orji, was a linebacker at Vanderbilt like Anfernee.

Campbell, a former sixth-round pick by the Titans in 2022, spent the 2025 season on the Eagles’ practice squad. The 6-foot-2, 232-pound linebacker played his first three years of college ball at Maryland before transferring to the University of Mississippi for his senior season.

The 26-year-old was released during the team’s final roster cutdown in August but was quickly resigned back to the practice squad. Campbell was elevated from the practice against the Bears on Monday for his Eagles debut, making a tackle on special teams. – Written by Caroline Connor
