Philadelphia Eagles sign defensive tackle Jeremy Clark to replace injured Jeff Owens
With rookie defensive tackle Jeff Owens landing on the injured reserve list after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Philadelphia Eagles moved to bolster their defensive line by signing defensive tackle Jeremy Clark to a three-year deal Thursday.
Now in his second stint in Philadelphia, Clark (6-foot-3, 295 pounds) was originally a rookie free agent signing of the Eagles in 2007 and spent that entire season on the practice squad. Since then he has spent time with the New York Giants (2008-09), Atlanta Falcons (2009), Arizona Cardinals (2010), and Dallas Cowboys (2010).
Most recently, he was with the Washington Redskins but was released by the team on Christmas Day.
He has appeared in six career games (four with the Giants in 2008; two with the Cowboys in 2010), recording six tackles and a half sack.
A four-year starter at Alabama, Clark registered 85 tackles and 4.5 sacks in his career with the Crimson Tide. The 27-year-old is a native of Daphne, Ala.
