The Eagles are adding another veteran, this time to their secondary.

On the same day the team made its reunion with tight end Zach Ertz official, NFL Network reported that the Eagles were expected to sign former Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore to a one-year, $3 million contract. The network reported Moore would work at both safety and nickel corner.

Moore, 31, spent nine seasons with the Colts (2017-25), with 111 starts in 132 career appearances and earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2021, when he recorded four of his 21 career interceptions.

Moore has worked sparingly at safety during his NFL career, but the transition could prolong his career and give him a chance to get on the field with the Eagles.

Starting safety Marcus Epps struggled in the Eagles’ Week 2 win over Tennessee on Sunday, including getting hurdled by Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor on a big fourth-quarter gain.

If he doesn’t play safety, Moore will join a deep Eagles cornerbacks room that features Cooper DeJean, Quinyon Mitchell, and Riq Woolen, among others.

Moore started seven games with the Colts in his final season, when he allowed 521 yards on 44 completions. He was released by Indianapolis in May.

A crucial crossroads is here. The Eagles have reached the bye and, as timing would also have it, the NFL trade deadline, mired in their worst stretch of the Nick Sirianni era. There’s no doubt the franchise needs to course correct, but how? With who? Will players be on the move? Could coaches’ jobs be on the line? The Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Olivia Reiner conduct an autopsy of the Eagles after their seventh straight loss — a 19-11 defeat to the New York Giants — and look at the big picture of an organization that has swiftly fallen far from its Super Bowl glory two years ago. Listen here.
