Eagles begin assembling practice squad

(The Phanatis Magazine) - The Eagles have signed seven players to their practice squad: C Chase Beeler, TE Chase Ford, FB Emil Igwenagu, WR Marvin McNutt, and LB Ryan Rau, WR B.J. Cunningham and DT Frank Trotter.

Ford, Igwenagu, McNutt, Rau and Trotter were all waived as part of the Eagles final roster cut down on August 31. McNutt was a sixth round draft pick of the Eagles this year from Iowa, while the other three were signed as undrafted free agents this past spring.


Beeler (6-3, 285) spent last season on the 49ers practice squad after being signed by San Francisco as a rookie free agent following the 2011 draft. He was the center for Colts QB Andrew Luck at Stanford and is a native of Jenks, OK.

Cunningham (6-2, 215) finished his career at Michigan State as the school’s all time leader in receptions (218) and receiving yards (3,086), while ranking 2nd all-time with 25 touchdown catches. The Westerville, OH, native was selected in the sixth round of the 2012 draft by Miami but was released as part of their final roster cut down on August 31.
