It appears the Philadelphia Eagles will be re-signing Emmanuel Acho to the 53-man roster taking Jordan Hicks spot after the rookie linebacker tore his pectoral muscle in the 33-27 overtime win over the Cowboys. There has been no official announcement from the Eagles.



Acho injured his right hand just before the start of the season and was waived with an injury settlement in early September. With the designation, Acho couldn't have signed with the Eagles for at least six weeks. In recent weeks, Acho worked out with a couple NFL teams, but was still a free agent.

The move makes a lot sense for the Eagles. Acho has played in Bill Davis' scheme the last two seasons appearing in 14 games in 2014 finishing with 31 tackles. He'll add depth to that group and can also be an option on special teams.
