Eagles claim DL Taylor Hart off waivers, add CB Aaron Grymes to practice squad

The Eagles claimed defensive lineman Taylor Hart off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers on Monday and placed cornerback Ron Brooks on injured reserve.

The team also signed cornerback Aaron Grymes to the practice squad and released offensive lineman Matt Rotheram.

Hart, 25, was a 2014 fifth-round pick who made the Eagles’ initial 53-man roster before he was released in Week 1. He was claimed by the 49ers, who waived him this week. The Eagles have a need for defensive-line depth with Bennie Logan still nursing a groin injury.

By going with a defensive lineman instead of a cornerback in Brooks’ place, the Eagles will continue to have only four healthy cornerbacks on the active roster.
