He made his NFL playoff debut on Sunday but mostly played on special teams.
This is Campbell's first season with the Eagles after spending one season with the New York Giants and four with the Indianapolis Colts. He finished the 2023 season with 20 receptions for 104 yards and no touchdowns.
His best individual season came in 2022 as a member of the Colts when he racked up 63 receptions for 623 yards and three touchdowns. In six seasons, he has compiled 123 receptions for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns.
This move comes after the Eagles placed Dean on injured reserve due to a knee injury that he suffered on Sunday. Dean's loss is a big one since he's had a great season, compiling 128 total tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble, an interception, and four passes defended.
The Eagles beat the Packers 22-10 in the wild-card round on Sunday and will face the Los Angeles Rams next weekend in the divisional round with a trip to the NFC Championship Game on the line.
The Rams beat the Minnesota Vikings in Glendale, Arizona on Monday after the game had to be moved from Los Angeles due to the devastating wildfires.
Kickoff for Sunday's Eagles-Rams game will be at 3 p.m. ET on NBC. Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth will have the call.
