Free-agent tackle Dennis Kelly is returning to the Eagles

Kelly, a 2012 fifth-round draft pick for the Eagles, played with the Indianapolis Colts last season and can provide depth at tackle.

The Eagles are signing free agent Dennis Kelly, a league source confirmed Wednesday, bringing back an offensive lineman who played the first three seasons of his career in Philadelphia.

Kelly will help bolster the Eagles’ tackle depth, which took a hit when backup left tackle Andre Dillard signed with the Titans in free agency earlier this offseason. The Eagles drafted Alabama offensive line prospect Tyler Steen, who played left tackle for the Crimson Tide last year, but Steen projects as more of a guard in the NFL because of his frame.

Kelly, 33, did not allow a sack in the four games he played at tackle last year with the Indianapolis Colts, according to Pro Football Focus. A fifth-round Eagles draft pick in 2012, Kelly did give up 14 pressures and nine hurries. He appeared in 16 games in 2022.
