Eagles Sign WR Jeremy Ebert To Practice Squad

The Eagles made a minor move today signing WR Jeremy Ebert to the practice squad and releasing C Chase Beeler to make room. Here's his background from the Eagles.

A seventh round draft choice of the New England Patriots in 2012 out of Northwestern, Ebert (6-0, 195) earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a senior after posting career highs in receptions (76), yards (1060) and touchdowns (11). He became just the third player in school history to tally over 1,000 yards in a single season. Ebert played in 52 career games (35 starts) for the Wildcats, amassing 173 receptions for 2,400 yards and 21 touchdowns. The Hilliard, OH, native was an All-Midwest selection as a quarterback at Hilliard Darby High School.

And as you might have guessed, as a former Patriots WR, Ebert is in fact smallish and Caucasian. By the way, more proof that the Chad Hall era is well and truly over.
