Eagles sign RB Marshall off practice squad

WITH ONE running back - rookie Wendell Smallwood - on injured reserve with a right knee injury, and another - Darren Sproles - going through concussion protocol, the Eagles signed Byron Marshall off of their practice squad Tuesday.

Marshall, an undrafted rookie out of Oregon, has spent the entire season on the practice squad. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Tuesday that Marshall has been very impressive on the scout team this season.

"I'm not sure what action he'll see," Reich said. "But I can just tell you, watching scout team this whole year, if you took the 10 most eye-popping 'wow' plays on the field this year, Byron might have three or four of them.
