Oren Burks is back on the Eagles active roster, earning a promotion from the practice squad following the news that Philadelphia was placing James Bradberry on injured reserve with a leg injury.
Signed by the Eagles as a free agent in the offseason, Burks was limited for most of Training Camp and the preseason with a knee injury. He returned to action in time for the preseason finale but was released during the roster cutdown.
