The Philadelphia Eagles have won six of their first seven games and their defense is about to get even scarier.
The Eagles landed two-time All-Pro safety Kevin Byard from the Tennessee Titans, according to multiple reports. Philadelphia parted ways with safety Terrell Edmunds as well as a fifth- and sixth-round pick.
The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported Sunday the Eagles were looking for help at safety.
The 30-year-old Byard played his first eight seasons with the Titans. He has 27 interceptions in 120 career games, including eight during his All-Pro season in 2017 and another five in his All-Pro campaign in 2021.

The Eagles allowed the seventh-fewest yards after seven games, including the fewest rushing yards of any team. The addition of Byard figures to help a pass defense which has allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns in the league.
