Will Eagles promote running back from practice team?

The Eagles still have an open roster spot after putting running back Ryan Mathews on injured reserve, and it seems as if Doug Pederson wants the spot to go to practice squad running back Terrell Watson. The Eagles will wait to see how the week progresses, but they have only two running backs on the roster.

"I would like for it to be a running back," Pederson said. "With Watson sitting right there, it would be a no-brainer for us. But again, we'll wait and see later in the week how things go."

Either way, look for Byron Marshall to receive extended work on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
