The Eagles have promoted running back Terrell Watson from their practice squad to the active roster.

Watson signed to the team’s practice squad last week. He fills the spot vacated when Ryan Mathews was placed on the team’s injured-reserve list.

Watson spent some time with the Bengals last season, then followed Hue Jackson to Cleveland and was on the Browns’ practice squad earlier this season.

Byron Marshall, Darren Sproles and possibly Watson will handle the running back duties for Eagles Sunday vs. the Cowboys.
