Philadelphia signed Harris to its practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) on the injured reserve list, the Eagles saw fit to bring the veteran Harris on board to potentially provide some depth at safety during the home stretch of the season. And with Reed Blankenship (knee) also questionable for Sunday's game at Chicago, Philadelphia could opt to elevate Harris sooner rather than later.

Anthony Harris: Open to signing elsewhere
Rotowire
The Eagles and Harris have reached an agreement to terminate his practice squad contract to maximize his flexibility to join another team's 53-man roster, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harris, who started 15 games for the Eagles last season, was released by the team last Tuesday and signed to the practice squad the following day. Additionally, Philadelphia acquired safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson via trade, giving Harris an uphill battle for playing time. The eighth-year pro was recently granted the opportunity to explore other teams' secondary interests, and he could contribute if he's able to prove good health and effectiveness on the field.

Vikings' Anthony Harris: Struggles in pass coverage
Rotowire
Harris had eight total tackles in Sunday's 43-34 loss to Green Bay. He struggled in pass coverage, giving up two receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on five targets, according to Pro Football Focus.
Minnesota's secondary struggled Sunday with a young set of cornerbacks torched by Aaron Rodgers.

He should continue to put up solid tackle totals as the starting safety next to Harrison Smith.

Vikings' Anthony Harris: Slapped with tag
Rotowire
The Vikings have franchise-tagged Harris, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Harris likely would've been viewed as the top safety available in free agency, coming off a 2019 season with career highs of 60 tackles and six interceptions. He actually served as the Vikings' No. 3 safety throughout much of his career, but Harris has excelled in a full-time role since taking over as a starter midway through 2018. The franchise tag could serve as a bridge to a long-term contract.
