Running back depth.
The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed free agent running back Lew Nichols, according to an official team announcement.
Here’s a timeline of Nichols’ history with the Eagles:
- October 16, 2023 — Signed to the Eagles’ practice squad
- January 18, 2024 — Signed to the Eagles’ offseason roster
- August 27, 2024 — Waived by the Eagles
- December 26, 2024 — Signed to the Eagles’ practice squad
- December 31, 2024 — Released by the Eagles
- January 30, 2025 — Signed to the Eagles’ practice squad
- February 1, 2025 — Released by the Eagles
Nichols will likely spend the 2025 offseason with the Eagles as he tries to battle for a job on next season’s roster or practice squad.
The Eagles currently have four running backs under contract for 2025: Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley, Tyrion Davis-Price, and Nichols. Kenny Gainwell is set to be a free agent in March and it’s possible he’ll leave Philly to sign with another team.
