“Just when I thought I was out … they pull me back in!”
Myles Jack, a 28-year-old former NFL linebacker, is making a comeback to the league — just months after his sudden retirement when he was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad.
Jack had pretty high expectations surrounding him after a stellar college career at UCLA, leading him to be drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016. In 2019, he managed to lock down a four-year, $51 million contract extension, but ended up being cut in 2022 after having a battle with injuries.

Just days following his release from the Jags, he signed a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but after only one season, the two sides went their separate ways.
After exiting out of Steel City, Jack was considering a career outside of football before ultimately signing with the Eagles back in the offseason. However, just weeks later, he decided to retire.
Fast forward three months later, and he’s back. And once again with the Steelers.
We have signed S Trenton Thompson to the active roster, signed LB Myles Jack & S Eric Rowe to the practice squad and placed S Elijah Riley on the Reserve/Injured List. @BordasLaw https://t.co/dXNNuxFdF4

This is a total Salvatore Bonpensiero move from “The Sopranos”!
And you know we gotta play the original … shoutout to my man Al Pacino!
By the way, who knew Al Pacino was in a Bad Bunny music video (I’m just now figuring this out)?
Anyways … it’s nice to see you back, Myles! Stick around this time!
