The Eagles have signed defensive end A.J. Epenesa and guard Michael Jordan. Linebackers Chandler Martin and Isiah King have been waived in corresponding roster moves.
Epenesa was drafted by the Bills in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Iowa, accumulating 24 sacks, 135 tackles, four interceptions, and five forced fumbles through 91 games over his six years in Buffalo. In Week 3 of 2023, Epenesa intercepted Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell and returned the interception for his first career touchdown.
At Iowa, Epenesa was named to the All-Freshmen Big Ten Conference team in 2018. He led the Big Ten in sacks during his sophomore season in 2018, earning first-team All-Big Ten accolades in both 2018 and 2019.
On the offensive side of the ball, Michael Jordan joins the Eagles' offensive line for his eighth NFL season. Drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, Jordan has since played for the Panthers, Packers, Patriots, and most recently the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025.
The former Buckeye has started 49 out of 78 games played in the NFL. At Ohio State, Jordan won back-to back Big Ten Conference Championships. Individually, he earned All-America honors in 2018 by multiple media outlets and was named second-team All-Big Ten Conference twice in his career.
Undrafted out of Memphis in 2025, the 6-foot, 230-pound Martin signed with the Baltimore Ravens and earned a spot on the team's practice squad. Martin was elevated for special teams duty three times as a rookie before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 13.
King joined the Eagles in May as an undrafted free agent out of Idaho. King spent all five years at Idaho, playing 41 games and registering 152 total tackles. His most productive college season came in 2025 when he finished with 79 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and three sacks. Written by Caroline Connor
