Eagles Fill Out Practice Squad

September 4, 2006
By CHRIS McPHERSON

The Eagles filled out their eight-man practice squad Monday by signing linebacker Torrance Daniels, tight end Tim Day, safety Dustin Fox, wide receivers Michael Gasperson and Bill Sampy, center Jasper Harvey and fullback Zach Tuiasosopo.

They will join defensive end Christian Mohr, two-time All-NFL Europe selection, who was signed to the practice squad for the 2006 season as part of the NFL's International Development Practice Squad program.

Daniels, Gasperson and Sampy played with the Eagles through training camp.

Day and Harvey were both rookie free agents in 2006. Day was originally signed by the Chicago Bears after catching 86 passes for 1,008 yards and 13 touchdowns in 48 games at the University of Oregon. Harvey, a college teammate of linebacker Matt McCoy at San Diego State, was in the Washington taterskins' training camp.

Fox and Tuiasosopo both join the Eagles with some NFL experience under their belts. Many know the name Tuiasosopo because of Zach's older brother, Marques, who is a quarterback with the Oakland Raiders. The 6-2, 245-pound fullback was a member of the Raiders and Steelers' practice squads last season. Tuiasosopo was a linebacker who converted to fullback while at the University of Washington.

Fox was a third-round pick of the Vikings in 2005, but he was on the injured reserve list with a broken arm. Fox was a former standout at Ohio State.

Members of the practice squad can participate in practices, but do not dress for games. They can be signed by another team at any time.

Interesting that Mike Gasperson makes it.

Only 3/7 of the guys are people who were in camp.

I like the addition of Tim Day and Zach Tuiasosopo.

The final spot will be a QB, I bet.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, the final spot is still Mohr for now.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I believe that he is an exemption because he's part of the NFL Exchange program.

Spads just said that they added only 7 and still have a spot open.

I liked Tim Day in the draft before the Eagles signed Matt Schobel. He has good hands and pretty decent speed, but I was worried about his production. He didnt have a TD in his senior year until their bowl game.

I heard that also, but I don't trust the correctness of it, and neither should you.

According to Dallas Morning News Cowboys beat writer;

The Cowboys can put nine players on the practice squad, including NFL Europe linebacker Carl-Johan Bjork, and hope several of those they cut make it through waivers.

They have an exchange player too and can keep 9.

Timmy Chang can't get no love?

so, when can the eagles officially sign davenport, ponder, etc?

I'm pretty sure Davenport wasn't subject to waivers, and I'm pretty sure the Eagles aren't interested.

Don't think they want Ponder either.


P.S.  Hahahaha - RazorGator commercial on Eagles Live

Injury Update:  Only Reno didn't practice.

[BigEd76]

Fox is an interesting pickup.  3rd round pick last year.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Lito would return punts Sunday if Reno can't play.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Andy seems a little excited about putting Nick Cole in as a FB in goalline situations.

Also, he's talking about Dawkins playing LB in certain dime packages.

[hunt]

dawkins is probably the 2nd best lb on the roster.
