Quarterback Kyle McCord was nudged off the 53-man roster in Philadelphia, but he won’t be leaving town.
McCord went unclaimed on waivers and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that he will re-sign with the Eagles as a member of their practice squad.
McCord was a sixth-round pick this April and he was trying to make the cut as the team’s third quarterback, but a trade for Sam Howell earlier this week closed off that door. McCord will be behind Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee as well.
McCord was 24-of-56 for 191 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions for the Eagles in the preseason.
