The Philadelphia Eagles are signing free agent running back AJ Dillon, who missed the entire 2024 season with a neck injury, according to reports from NFL Network and the Associated Press.
It's a one-year deal for Dillon, though financial terms were not reported.
The 6-foot, 247-pound back gives the Eagles a power rusher behind star RB Saquon Barkley.
Dillon, 26, has rushed for 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns in 60 career games (11 starts) with the Green Bay Packers, who drafted him in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2020 draft. He also has 86 receptions out of the backfield for 763 yards and two scores.
Dillon sat out last season with a neck stinger. He also finished the 2023 season on injured reserve with the same injury that forced him to miss the final two games.
Dillon has received clearances from the top neck specialists in the country, per NFL Network.
