The 23-year-old Morris originally signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent following the 2014 NFL Draft. Morris spent the 2014 season on Jacksonville's practice squad. The Jaguars recently waived Morris in their final cuts.

Between his junior and senior years at Miami, Morris combined for 443 completions on 765 attempts (57.9%), 42 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions.

Philadelphia clearly brought Morris in to be their third string quarterback behind starter Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. He's a developmental player who likely won't be kept active on game day.
