After a few hours away as a free agent, long snapper Rick Lovato is back with the team after being released on Monday.
The roster spot opened back up when the trade that sent quarterback Joe Flacco to the New York Jets for a conditional 2022 sixth-round pick became official.
Lovato has been the Eagles’ long snapper since the end of the 2016 campaign.

Another former Alabama Crimson Tide player, Mayden signed with the 49ers as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2020 and he saw time in two games as a practice squad call-up for San Francisco last year on special teams.
The 6-foot, 205-pound Mayden played in 36 games (11 starts) from 2016-19 at Alabama.
