After one of the team's best defensive performances of the season,Safetyvalue the Philadelphia Eagles are adding another marquee talent ahead of the NFL's trade deadline.

The Eagles are acquiring two-time All-Pro safety Kevin Byard from the Tennessee Titans, coach Nick Sirianni confirmed on Monday. The Titans will receive fifth- and sixth-round draft picks in 2024 as well as safety Terrell Edmunds, a person familiar with the deal told USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade was not yet official.

Byard, 30, has been one of the NFL's most prolific ballhawks since entering the league in 2016, recording at least four interceptions in five of the last six seasons. His 27 career interceptions rank 10th among active players.

After reshuffling their outlook at safety in the offseason, the Eagles have dealt with multiple injuries at the position, including Reed Blankenship missing Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins with a rib injury. Fellow starter Justin Evans, meanwhile, was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 13 with a knee injury. Despite that, the Eagles managed to hold the Dolphins' offense – which had been the league's most prolific unit – to a season-low 17 points.

Byard was born in Philadelphia and has cited former Eagles standout safety Brian Dawkins as one of his favorite players.

The NFL's trade deadline is Oct. 31.
