Eagles announce 4 roster moves ahead of Week 13 matchup vs. 49ers

The Eagles are just days away from a must-see matchup against the 49ers on Sunday and the team just announced four roster moves ahead of their Thursday practice.

Philadelphia announced the signing of linebacker Ben VanSumeren to the active roster.

The Eagles also signed cornerback Josiah Scott and wide receiver Cam Sims to the Practice Squad, and released wide receiver Greg Ward from the Practice Squad.

The Eagles are adding Scott to the practice squad after waiving him from the active roster two days ago.

The cornerback played four games this season, but was inactive last Sunday for the win over the Bills.

Scott registered one solo tackle on 17 defensive snaps.

The former Jacksonville Jaguars’ fourth-round draft pick played 29 games on the Eagles’ active roster, making four starts in his first stint with the team. He registered 38 tackles, eight pass deflections, two interceptions, and one sack.
