From Pro Bowlers to players who never played an NFL snap, here's the best and worst picks from each of Philadelphia's past 10 drafts.APRIL 4, 2023
NATE GERRY
Re-signed by Washington The Commanders re-signed Gerry on Wednesday to a one-year contract, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Gerry spent the majority of last season on Washington's practice squad and didn't record any statistics in four appearances with the club, with all of his snaps coming on special teams. While the 28-year-old linebacker isn't a lock to make the team coming out of the preseason, his experience on the third unit could be enough for him to secure a roster spot.

Signs deal with San Fran Gerry (ankle) signed a one-year, $1.12 million deal with the 49ers on Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledgerreports.
Impact Consider this signing a move to solidify the 49ers' depth as Gerry isn't expected to be a critical factor in the team's linebacker rotation. Despite playing in just seven games, Gerry nearly set a career high in tackles with 57 in 2020, but he was often picked on by opposing passing attacks.
MARCH 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Finishes with 57 stops Gerry (ankle) notched 57 tackles (32 solo) one sack and two defensed passes across seven games in 2020.
Impact Gerry failed to suit up for at least double-digit games for the first time in his career in 2020, but he nonetheless finished with his second-highest tackle total before injuring his ankle. The soon-to-be 26-year-old is scheduled to become a restricted free agent this offseason, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be back with Philadelphia.

Placed on IR Gerry (ankle) was placed on IR on Friday.
Impact Gerry's placement on IR means he'll have to miss at least the next three weeks, so the earliest he could return will be Week 11 against the Browns. With Gerry on the mend, Davion Taylor is poised to slide into a starting outside linebacker role.

Nursing ankle injury Gerry was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
Impact The 25-year-old had eight tackles and his first sack of the season during Thursday's win over the Giants, but he apparently sustained the ankle injury during the contest. Gerry likely needs to practice in some capacity the next couple days to have a chance of suiting up Week 8.
OCTOBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs first sack of season Gerry notched eight tackles (four solo), one sack and one quarterback hit during Thursday's 22-21 win over the Giants.
Impact Gerry now has an outstanding 54 tackles through seven games, making him an every-week option in IDP formats, especially if he can continue building momentum as a pass rusher. His 92 percent of defensive snaps were a season-low mark, but Gerry continues to handle nearly an every-down role.
OCTOBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Paces team in tackles Gerry made nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Ravens.
Impact Gerry tied Alex Singleton for the team lead in tackles, as he's recorded at least seven stops in each of the first six games, totaling 49 so far. The Nebraska product plays nearly every snap on Philadelphia's defense, and with the tackle count staying high, Gerry should be confidently deployed in IDP settings moving forward.
OCTOBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Registers seven tackles in loss Gerry collected four solo tackles and three assists during Sunday's 38-29 loss to the Steelers.
Impact The 25-year-old safety has been a near every-down contributor for Philadelphia's defense this season, fielding at least 97 percent of the defensive workload in each of his five outings. Gerry has been impactful with his opportunities as well, already having accumulated 40 tackles after registering 78 in 16 appearances (including 12 starts) for the Eagles last season.

Seven tackles Sunday Gerry recorded seven tackles (three solo) across 69 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Impact Gerry was second on the team in tackles Sunday, as he now has 17 tackles (eight solo) on the season. He also continues to dominate the snap count among linebackers in Philly, playing in 99 percent of the defensive snaps this season.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Leads team in tackles Gerry racked up 10 tackles in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Washington.
Impact Gerry was the only double-digit tackler on the day for Philadelphia and also made two tackles for loss. The total was just one shy of his career high. If the 25-year-old keeps it up in Week 2 against the Rams, he is IDP value will surge.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
On track for key role Gerry could handle defensive signal-calling duties for the Eagles in 2020, Paul Domowitch of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Gerry is the only remaining option in Philadelphia's linebacker corps who handled more than 305 defensive snaps (630) last season, per Domowitch, with Nigel Bradham having been released in February. The converted safety compiled 78 tackles in 2019 while suiting up for all 16 games despite battling a core muscle injury, an issue from which he's now fully recovered. Now heading into the fourth year of his NFL career, the 2017 fifth-round pick could be in line to step up his responsibilities on defense a notch and serve as the leader of the Eagles' linebacker corps.
