Eagles re-sign S Wall to practice squad

The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed safety Jamar Wall to the practice squad.

Wall  spent 11 weeks on the Eagles practice squad this season and was promoted to the active roster on Dec. 21 but was released 10 days later.

Originally a sixth-round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys in 2010, Wall was released prior to the start of the season, but was claimed by the Houston Texans on Sept. 5 and played in the season opener, logging one special teams tackle. He was released on Sept. 29 and signed to the Eagles practice squad the following day.

A native of Plainview, TX, the 22-year-old Wall played collegiately at Texas Tech, where he registered 186 tackles, nine interceptions, 34 pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 50 games (38 starts). He earned second-team All-Big 12 Conference honors following the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
