The Philadelphia Eagles are signing versatile tight end E.J. Jenkins to their practice squad ahead of a Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles have a huge Week 9 showdown against the Cowboys coming up, and with Grant Calcaterra in the concussion protocol, the team is adding another tight end.

According to Mike Garafalo, E.J. Jenkins is signing to Philadelphia’s practice squad on Tuesday.

Philadelphia previously worked out Jekins and five other players ahead of the Week 3 matchup against Tampa Bay.

An undrafted free agent out of South Carolina, Jenkins caught two passes for 18 yards in his NFL preseason debut against the Cleveland Browns and then saw one pass for five yards in a matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
