Eagles release veteran cornerback Ambry Thomas
The Eagles released veteran cornerback Ambry Thomas as Philadelphia continued settling the depth behind its established secondary starters.
The Philadelphia Eagles have released veteran cornerback Ambry Thomas, as reported by Yahoo Sports and ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Thomas, who joined the Eagles’ practice squad in August 2025, was initially released in January before being re-signed on a reserve-future contract to compete for a depth role. The San Francisco 49ers drafted Thomas in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft, where he played three seasons, appearing in 42 games and recording 79 tackles, 11 passes defensed, and two interceptions.
Thomas showcased some positive moments during the Eagles’ preseason, including a fumble recovery and two passes defensed. However, his departure provides more clarity behind the secondary, potentially bolstering the cases for Quinyon Mitchell, Riq Woolen, Cooper DeJean, Jonathan Jones, Kelee Ringo, and Mac McWilliams.
