The Eagles have a former All-Pro linebacker on the roster, adding the versatile Shaquille Leonard to the roster after he chose Philadelphia over Dallas.
Leonard is preparing to take the field for his third practice with the team, and he’s switched jersey number.
After initially being assigned the No. 50, Leonard is switching to No. 53 after Christian Elliss was waived.

Leonard will likely start opposite Zach Cunningham, and the duo should help alleviate the lack of communication witnessed in the Eagles’ 42-19 loss to the 49ers.
