Eagles bring a familiar face back to the practice squad
The Philadelphia Eagles signed Greg Ward to their practice squad on Monday, according to an official team announcement.
In case you forgot, Ward missed most of training camp due to injury. The team placed him on injured reserve during roster cuts down to 53 players. Ward was then waived from IR.
NFL rules dictate that a team cannot re-sign a player waived from IR until a minimum of six weeks have passed. The Eagles seemingly hoped to get Ward back after that waiting period.
Ward’s return gives the Eagles more depth at wide receiver, specifically in the slot. Ward also has experience as a punt returner. He’s a nice guy to have around for locker room purposes as well.
