Eagles promote LB Oren Burks from the practice squad to active roster after placing James Bradberry on injured reserve

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.

In six NFL seasons (four with the Packers and two with San Francisco), Burks has recorded 130 tackles, two sacks, and an interception in 91 career games (15 starts). Burks also possesses plenty of big-game experience, with 11 playoff games. He started for the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII this past season. He also can lay claim to extensive special teams reps with 46 career tackles.
