On Monday evening, ESPN's Mike Garafolo reported on X/Twitter that the Eagles are signing defensive end K.J. Henry to their practice squad.
"The #Eagles are expected to sign DE K.J. Henry to their practice squad, source says," Garafolo wrote. "A fifth-round pick of the #Commanders last year, Henry was let go by Dallas the other day and cleared waivers today. Philly adding depth on the edge after losing Brandon Graham for the season."

Henry, who was drafted out of Clemson by the Washington Commanders in 2023, comes to Philly after a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys.
He has appeared in just two games for Dallas this season, playing 11 defensive snaps while logging three tackles and one sack.
In total, Henry has played in 12 NFL games and has racked up a combined 19 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two passes defended.
Aside from Henry, the Eagles also have Nolan Smith Jr., rookie Jalyx Hunt, Milton Williams and Moro Ojomo to lean on in place of Graham.
