Eagles Add Okoronkwo and Sykes, Waive Henry and Nichols as Camp Opens

The effort reinforces Philadelphia’s pass rush by blending proven depth with developmental talent in training camp.

Overview

  • Veteran edge rusher Ogbonnia Okoronkwo signed a one-year deal after his release by the Browns, bringing six NFL seasons and a Super Bowl LVI ring.
  • Defensive tackle Jacob Sykes earned a training camp spot following a workout, building on his Harvard pedigree and two seasons with the UFL’s San Antonio Brahmas.
  • The roster moves included waiving defensive end KJ Henry and running back Lew Nichols to clear space ahead of preseason practices.
  • These additions deepen Philadelphia’s edge-rushing unit to compensate for offseason departures like Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat.
  • Okoronkwo’s availability stemmed from Cleveland’s cap-saving release, illustrating how summer salary cap decisions fuel free-agent opportunities.
