The Eagles signed Uche to a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Uche began the 2024 campaign with New England but was traded to Kansas City in late October, where he struggled to carve out more than a reserve role. He tallied just 2.0 sacks across his tenure with both the Patriots and Chiefs in 2024, Uche's lowest mark since his rookie campaign. He'll work to bounce back and help replace Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham for the Eagles.

Uche finished the 2024 season with 23 total tackles (17 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over 13 regular-season games with the Patriots and Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Uche was dealt to Kansas City in late October after spending the first four-plus seasons of his career with the Patriots. The defensive end was limited to just 2.0 sacks this season, his lowest total since his rookie season in 2020. Uche will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, potentially looking to join a new team, though sticking around Kansas City isn't usually a bad idea.

New England traded Uche to Kansas City on Monday in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Uche sat out of the Patriots' contest in Week 8 amid rumors they were shopping him, and now he's bound for the Chiefs ahead of Week 9. With Kansas City dealing with a few different injuries at the defensive end position, Uche could see significant playing time on the edge across from George Karlaftis right away.

Uche (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Uche does not have an injury, but he will be held out of Sunday's game amid trade speculation ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline, per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. The 2020 second-round pick has seen his snap count decrease over the last couple of weeks, and through seven regular-season outings he's posted 13 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks. With Uche inactive for Sunday's contest, Ochaun Mathis and Raekwon McMillan are the top candidates to start at outside linebacker alongside Anfernee Jennings.

Uche (foot) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's contest versus Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Uche was a limited participant in practice due to a lingering foot issue Wednesday and Thursday but was not restricted Friday and will head into the weekend without an injury designation. The outside linebacker tallied 23 percent of New England's defensive snaps Week 1 against the Bengals and didn't record any tackles.

Uche (foot) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Uche was able to play through his foot injury in Week 1 versus the Bengals, though he was limited to just 15 total snaps between defense and special teams. The linebacker will have two more chances to attempt to participate fully at practice before Sunday's contest at home versus Seattle.

Uche (foot) is active Sunday against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Uche logged a full practice Friday, but he remained on the team's injury report with a questionable status. However, he'll suit up for Week 1, which is good news for the Patriots defense.

Uche (foot) practiced in full Friday but is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Uche seems to have made notable progress in recovering from his foot injury, but he's officially listed as questionable to suit up Sunday versus Cincinnati. To begin the week, Uche had logged back-to-back limited practice sessions.

Uche has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Patriots, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Uche reportedly had bigger offers elsewhere, but he opted to return to Foxborough for less. The 2020 second-round pick has played four seasons with the Pats and was both a depth defender and special teams contributor last season. He currently projects to start opposite Matthew Judon (biceps) at outside linebacker in 2024.

Uche (foot) is active Sunday against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Uche hasn't suited up since Week 6 and will return after a two-game absence. His presence should be a boost to the team's linebacker corps against Washington.
