The Eagles announced three roster moves ahead of Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona, as the team activated punter Arryn Siposs from injured reserve.
Siposs had been out since the Week 14 win over the Giants, suffering an ankle injury while trying to advance a punt.
Philadelphia also elevated safety Anthony Harris and wide receiver Greg Ward up from the practice squad to the active roster for the final game of the season.
Arryn Siposs
While out with the injury, Siposs was replaced by the 36-year-old Brett Kern, who has averaged 40.8 yards per kick with a 36.6 net — both career lows for the 15-year veteran.
His 40.8 is the lowest by an Eagles punter since Reggie Hodges averaged 36.8 during the 2005 season and was replaced by Sean Landeta.
Anthony Harris
The veteran safety provides depth on defense but was inactive for the divisional-round matchup against the Giants and NFC Championship win over the 49ers.
Harris logged 72 tackles for Philadelphia last season but was a training camp cut before he signed to the Broncos practice squad.
The Broncos released Harris in December and he returned to the Eagles on the practice squad.
Greg Ward
With Britain Covey after suffering a hamstring injury, Ward could be called upon to return punts on Sunday night.
Ward spent most of the training camp dealing with a toe injury and was eventually waived from the team’s Injured Reserve days before the 2022 season opener with an injury settlement.
A former quarterback at the University of Houston who transitioned to wide receiver in the NFL, Ward signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent before their 2017-2018 Super Bowl season.
Ward spent most of his first 2.5 seasons on the practice squad before becoming the full-time slot receiver. He posted 53 receptions for 419 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns in 16 games during Philadelphia’s playoff run.
In 2021, Ward’s production slipped during Nick Sirianni’s first year as head coach, as the receiver logged just seven catches for 95 yards and three touchdowns after DeVonta Smith’s arrival and Quez Watkin’s rise up the depth chart.
