On Tuesday, the Eagles placed both Craig James and Vinny Curry on short term Injured Reserve and the Birds filled one of the open spots on the active roster by signing guard Sua Opeta from the practice squad.

Opeta was called up from the practice squad for Sunday’s game but did not play. Opeta was on the practice squad to open the 2019 season, but the Weber State product was eventually promoted to the active roster in December.
To replace Opeta on the practice squad, the Eagles signed tight end Jordan Franks. The 24-year-old Franks played in six games for the Bengals in 2018, registering two catches for 37 yards. The 6-4, 240-pound Franks had 43 catches for 509 yards and two touchdowns at Central Florida.
He did not play in a game.
