The Eagles have added more depth to their running back corps, claiming Trey Sermon off waivers from the 49ers.
Sermon was taken No. 88 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.
Sermon was outplayed by Jeff Wilson, Tyrion Davis-Price, and Jordan Mason, who are all slated to back up starter Elijah Mitchell, who led the team with 963 yards on 207 carries last season.
Adam Schefter also reported that Philadelphia attempted to trade for the running back before placing a waiver claim once Sermon was cut.
The Eagles now own sermon’s original rookie contract for the next three years.
In nine appearances as a rookie, he rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown while catching three of his four targets for 26 yards.
