It might seem like an insignificant move to bring back a lineman to the practice squad, but after watching the Eagles’ offensive line get decimated already through four weeks, it can’t hurt to have more depth.
Clark has been in the league since he was drafted in the third round in 2016 out of Texas Tech. Clark spent the first four years of his career in Indianapolis, where he played under Nick Sirianni.
In his career, Clark has played in 47 games with 15 starts.
Clark tore his Achilles last December and the Eagles signed him to a cheap deal in May. Clark began training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list but was activated on Aug. 14.
