James, 25, originally signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2018. The Vikings waived him with an injury settlement in September, but James re-signed with the team’s practice squad that October.

The Vikings again waived James in August of 2019, and James signed onto the Eagles practice squad soon after, and James signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract extension in 2020.

The Eagles waived James this past August, but James caught back on to their practice squad soon after. The Eagles again waived James last week.

In 2021, James has appeared in four games for the Eagles, totaling two tackles and one fumble recovery.
