Goode, 26, spent the last two years with the Eagles before being released on September 5th.
The move comes following injuries to starting inside linebackers Kiko Alonso and Mychal Kendricks. Alonso has a sprained left knee, the same knee that Alonso rehabbed after suffering a torn ACL in 2014.
Alonso's timetable is unknown, although 94WIP's Howard Eskin reported Alonso will miss two to four weeks with just a sprained ACL.
Kendricks suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday against the Cowboys. His timetable is also unknown.
The 0-2 Eagles will face the 2-0 Jets Sunday at Met Life stadium.
