Now, for fans of the Eagles, this was the news everyone had been waiting for; after an extended run in concussion protocol, Philadelphia would likely have its QB1 back in time for the team’s Wild Card round showdown. But hidden on the Eagles’ social media timelines was the news that Howie Roseman had signed Georgia-educated safety Lewis Cine off of the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad to fill the 53rd roster spot previously held by Ian Book.
… wait, did that just say Georgia? Did Philadelphia just land another Dawg to go with Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, and Nakobe Dean? Why yes, yes it did, and after the team’s practice, Cine answered questions from reporters about his new home, including how it felt to reunite with his old Bulldog buddies.
“Man, everything kind of happened fast, but just soaking it in and taking it in. I’ve already met all the guys and then some old faces so I’m happy to be here,” Lewis told reporters. “It feels like a reunion, if I’m being honest. Walked in, it was all love, all dabs, you know. Hugs and whatnot, catching up. So it’s really, really good to see the guys.”
Asked if he knows anything about Philly’s culture, Cine said yes, noting that it’s basically the same one he left in Georgia due to all of his Philly Dawgs on the defensive side of the ball.
