Eric Rowe impresses in first preseason NFL game

SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah cornerback Eric Rowe shined in his first preseason NFL game with the Philadelphia Eagles against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday.

At the start of the second quarter, Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw a short pass to receiver Phillip Dorsett for a 20-yard gain before Rowe hits Dorsett and strips the ball for a fumble.

Since joining the Eagles Rowe has been used on the outside as a corner, but has since been moved to nickel, according to csnphilly.com. Rowe was moved over after rookie JaCorey Shepherd sustained a season-ending ACL tear last week.
