Per Mike Garafolo, the Eagles are releasing WR Greg Ward, with Garafolo adding that he is a candidate to return to the team’s practice squad.
Ward, 28, originally signed on with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of Houston, converting from quarterback to receiver. He was among Philadelphia’s final roster cuts during his rookie season in 2017 and signed on with their practice squad.
From there, Ward was on and off the Eagles’ taxi squad before securing a roster spot and eventually returning to Philadelphia on an exclusive rights deal.
The Eagles re-signed Ward but placed him on injured reserve coming out of the preseason. They released him from IR with a settlement and signed him to their practice squad once more in October of 2022.
In 2021, Ward appeared in all 17 games and caught seven passes for 95 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
