The Philadelphia Eagles are signing free agent defensive tackle Linval Joseph, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
This addition is clearly related to concerns about the Eagles’ run defense following the Jordan Davis injury. After allowing 109.8 rushing yards per game through the first six weeks, the Eagles have allowed 157 rushing yards per game over the past three.
Philly tried multiple options to try to replace Davis. They temporarily elevated Marvin Wilson (Big Marv) from the practice squad for the Houston Texans game. But they clearly didn’t love what they saw from him, opting not to elevate him again for the Washington Commanders game.
