The Philadelphia Eagles have signed cornerback Isaiah Bolden and waived tackle/guard Hollin Pierce after their preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. Bolden, a seventh-round draft pick in 2023 from Jackson State, previously played for the New England Patriots and spent time on the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad. His career highlights include being an HBCU All-American kick returner and earning second-team All-SWAC honors in 2022. Pierce, who joined the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2025, spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad.

By the Numbers
  • Isaiah Bolden had 44 tackles and 7 pass breakups in his final collegiate season at Jackson State.
  • Hollin Pierce was a nominee for the Bulsworth Trophy as a senior in college.
