Philadelphia added another running back to the roster on Thursday, claiming former Ohio State running back Trey Sermon off waivers from the 49ers.
The 23-year-old Sermon saw action in nine games (two starts) in his rookie season, logging 167 yards on 41 carries (4.1 yards per carry) and scoring one touchdown.
Sermon added three receptions for 26 yards.
With Sermon on the roster, Philadelphia now has four running backs, and the 6-0, 215-pound second-year running back will assume the role vacated by Jordan Howard.
Here are several takeaways and observations from the move.
