Eagles coach Chip Kelly said last night he’d evaluate everything, and he’s started at the quarterback position.

According to Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com, the Eagles have swapped out third quarterbacks, releasing Stephen Morris and signing Thad Lewis.

Lewis was part of final cuts by the Browns this preseason, and has also done time with the Rams, Texans and Bills, meaning he’s moved among some of the most dysfunctional quarterback depth charts in the league in recent years.

He’s played in seven NFL games and has a career 81.4 rating, with more touchdowns (five) than interceptions (four), and has played some generally acceptable football along the way.
