Eagles are making some moves to improve their secondary before the start of the season.

On Thursday ESPN reported that Philadelphia had traded defensive tackle Bruce Hector for Arizona Cardinals safety Rudy Ford.

Hector was unlikely to make the 53-man roster as the Eagles are deep at the defensive tackle position. The trade for Ford gives the team more depth behind starting safeties Malcolm Jenkins, Rodney McLeod and Andrew Sendejo. Ford will compete with Jonathan Cyprien, Tre Sullivan, Trae Elston and Deiondre Hall for a spot behind those three.

Ford was a sixth round pick by the Cardinals in 2017. In his two year NFL career the 24-year-old has played in 23 games, starting one and amassed 14 tackles.
