The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing in veteran cornerback Jonathan Jones on a one-year deal, NFL Network reported Thursday.

Jones, 32, shifts from the NFC East rival Washington Commanders to the Eagles, one day after Philadelphia signed former Pro Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen from the Seattle Seahawks.

Jones spent one year with Washington after nine seasons with the New England Patriots, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2016. He had five pass breakups, one sack and 41 tackles in 12 appearances (seven starts) for the Commanders.

Through 144 career games (78 starts), Jones has 11 interceptions -- though none since a four-interception campaign in 2022 -- as well as 477 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 62 pass breakups and 10 forced fumbles.
