Sources: Eagles to add DT Linval Joseph to aid run defense

PHILADELPHIA -- Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Linval Joseph is planning to sign a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Joseph, 34, started 14 games for the Los Angeles Chargers last season, posting 57 tackles (three for loss), a sack and two quarterback hits.

At 6-foot-4 and 329 pounds, he has experience as a space-eating nose tackle -- a position rookie Jordan Davis shined in before suffering a high ankle sprain on Oct. 30 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, landing him on injured reserve.
