New Eagles’ WR Julio Jones chooses jersey number

The Eagles have a new veteran receiver on the roster, adding future Hall of Fame pass catcher Julio Jones to the practice squad ahead of the Week 7 showdown against the Dolphins.

Jones is preparing to take the field for his first practice in Philadelphia, and he’ll wear the No. 80, according to the team’s official website.

Philadelphia can use a veteran presence at the wide receiver position, and Jones is certified, having logged 903 receptions for 13,629 yards and 81 touchdowns.

Last year, Jones caught 24 passes for 299 yards and two scores in 10 games with Tampa Bay.
