For Josh Adams, an undrafted Eagles running back, there's no such thing as a meaningless preseason

Josh Adams has had to do a lot of waiting the last 3 ½ months.

In late April, the 6-2, 220-pound running back out of Notre Dame by way of Central Bucks South High School waited in vain for three days to hear his name called in the NFL draft before finally signing as an undrafted free agent with the Eagles.

Then he spent the spring OTAs and minicamps waiting for a hairline fracture in his right foot to heal. The injury initially was spotted during a medical exam in February at the NFL scouting combine.

“I wouldn’t say it’s been frustrating,’’ said Adams, who finally was cleared to play two weeks ago, at the start of training camp.
