The Eagles are going to sign former Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts running back Matt Jones, a league source said Wednesday.
The team has not yet announced the signing. The NFL Network first reported the news.
Jones, 25, was a 2015 third-round pick out of Florida. He spent last season with the Colts, playing five games while shuffling between their practice squad and active roster. He opened the 2016 season as Washington’s starting running back, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and rushing for 460 yards in seven games before injuring his knee and losing his starting job.
