The Eagles have signed defensive tackle Derek Landri to their 53-man roster, league sources said.
Landri will replace Antonio Dixon, who suffered a season-ending torn triceps injury on Sunday and will be placed on Injured Reserve.
The 6-foot-2, 290-pound Landri spent most of training camp and the preseason with the Eagles before he was released on final cut-down day on Sept. 3.
Landri, 28, has five seasons of NFL experience under his belt. He last played for the Carolina Panthers a season ago, starting all 16 games and recording 43 tackles and three sacks. Statistically speaking, it was his best season as a pro.

CALL TROTTER— DONDEN31- CALL TROTTER, BERGEY, LEMASTER AND EVEN KEVIN REILLY— DONDEN31
- MARK SIMONEAU~~!!!! ANYONE IS BETTER THAN THESE SCRUBS!!!! — shady24
- HEY, I PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL LB IN 1963, CALL ME!— DONDEN31
- Play Teo-Nesheim this week. Just another wasted 3rd round pick in 2010. Bad drafting catches up to you.— zeke128
- Zeke - you are so right, missing repeatedly on high picks is killing this team. Reid needs help from people with real NFL experience, instead of accountants (Howie)picking personnel and an offensive line coach trying to learn how to be a defensive coordinator. — OverFiftyYears
- sweet idk y we even cut this guy in the first place! and i think we should take a look at Keith Bullock if hes still on the free agent market Laftu Tatpau and Aaron Currey i still think we need 2 trade for Lance Briggs Andy Reid needs 2 take a good long look at his linebacking Core and put Jaqwain Jerret in the Lineup and play Nnami & DRC they need to switch up this defense soon cuz im just disgusted by are defense STEP UP!!— VickaDelphia24
- Was tough to see him go at the cut, he'll be welcome back.— hallux
- I think I saw a red and white picnic blanket with a bottle of wine and some cheese in the secondary yesterday. Our D scares no one.— hallux
- As angry and disgusted as I am by these losses and especially the way we lost this season is just beginning...Lots of football left... There is to much coaching and player talent on this team for this team to fail...Yea we are looking pretty ugly now but that will change... Football is still a team sport and with all the new pieces added to this team IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT... Losses like we have been having will unite this team we will be better off for it... Time will tell. Go EAGLES.— trinieagle
- find a LB— djack10
- Should have kept Derek Landri from the beginning.
Another reason to fire Reid— Fano - They shouldnt have cut him the first place, meanwhile Trevor Laws takes a Roster spot from actually talent. Just one of the many bad decisions from the Reid tenure! So utterly disgusted....— abaker355
- As the guy a said above...'season's over'. And as to the pole...Reid should be fired no matter what they do. He's a boob. Time we all saw that, especially Laurie.— djlen
