Everything Eagles Green

The Eagles made another roster move on Tuesday.

The team released saftey J.R. Reed on Tuesday to make room on the 53-man roster for fullback Kyle Eckel.

Eckel was signed to a two year contract by the Eagles on Tuesday to play fullback for the Birds. This is yet another fullback brought onto the Eagles roster that probably won’t see the end of the season.

Last year it was Thomas Tapeh while this year has been a plethora of names.

Those names include Jed Collins, Jason Davis, Luke Lawton, Dan Klecko (twice) and former running back Tony Hunt.

The only player remaining on the team’s active roster is Klecko. He has been moved back to defensive tackle. He was moved to fullback after Hunt was released after playing the first handful of games at DT.

Reed has now been released three times in his career by the Eagles.

On Tuesday the Eagles also released Jed Collins from the team’s practice squad to make room for guard Nevin McCaskill.
