Philadelphia Eagles: Akeem Spence thrilled he’s on a ‘winning team’

A few days ago, the Philadelphia Eagles were put in a difficult situation. As one of their offseason acquisitions, Malik Jackson suffered a foot injury, they were forced to put him on the team’s injured reserve. At this point, Jackson’s debut season in Philly is likely over.

Fortunately, the Eagles have a stellar replacement already in Timmy Jernigan. However, the loss of one guy, calls for another to be brought in. So the Eagles made a call to former Miami Dolphins defensive tackle, Akeem Spence. Now, Spence joins the Eagles as a fourth-string defensive tackle.
