This is the third time this season the Eagles have elevated Sam, meaning they will need to put him on the active roster to play again in 2025.
The Eagles announced on Saturday that they have elevated safety Andre Sam from the practice squad for their Sunday matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. This marks the third time this season that the Eagles have elevated Sam, which means they will need to add him to the active roster if they want him to play again in 2025.
Sam, a rookie free agent signed by the Eagles out of LSU in 2024, spent his first season on the team’s practice squad. Sam made his NFL debut during the Week 14 victory over the Panthers. Before that, Sam was elevated for the previous two games against the Bears and the Chargers, where he played exclusively on special teams for 19 snaps.
The 5-foot-10, 194-pound Sam will provide additional depth at safety behind Reed Blankenship, Sydney Brown, and Marcus Epps.
