The Eagles had just five off-ball linebackers on the roster before to this move, and one of them was injured. The Eagles’ linebacker position was a glaring weakness throughout training camp this summer through six practices, but they have already resolved it.
Jack, who will be 28 in September, played in 15 games with Pittsburgh last season, starting 13 of them. In 692 defensive snaps, he recorded 104 tackles, three tackles for a loss, and three passes defended. Jack, a 2016 second-round pick by the Jaguars, has made 103 appearances with 95 starts.
