J.T. Gray: Everything you need to know

The Eagles signed Gray to a one-year contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Gray spent his first seven seasons with the Saints and was selected to the Pro Bowl and named a first-team All-Pro as a special-teams ace in 2021. He was a second-team All-Pro twice. Gray was released ahead of Week 1 last summer and spent the 2025 campaign bouncing around the league with the Ravens, Broncos and Bucs, appearing in just five regular-season contests.

Gray reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Friday. Gray was elevated and active for the second time this season for Thursday's loss to the Falcons. He played exclusively on special teams and managed one tackle.

The Buccaneers elevated Gray from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Gray was also cleared of a hamstring injury that had plagued him throughout the end of his tenure with the Broncos. After being waived by them Nov. 4, the 29-year-old signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Nov. 21 and will get his first opportunity with the team Thursday night. The safety was likely elevated due to the uncertainty around Tykee Smith's (neck) ability to suit up for the divisional matchup.
