Eagles promote Greg Ward to active roster, place Rudy Ford on IR

The Philadelphia Eagles have promoted wide receiver, Greg Ward up from the practice squad to the active roster. To make room on the roster for Ward, the Eagles placed safety Rudy Ford on injured reserve.

Ward was promoted to the active roster in Week 3 and played 13 offensive snaps against the Detroit Lions in a loss. A former college quarterback at Houston, Ward has spent the week impersonating Russell Wilson of the Seahawks, the Eagles opponent on Sunday.

Both Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor are battling injuries and Ward could help provide the Eagles with a consistent deep threat.
