Eagles sign WR Rashard Davis, waive CB Mitchell White

Share

The Eagles on Sunday made another minor roster move addressing the wide receiver position.

One day after signing Keevan Lucas, the Eagles inked James Madison product Rashard Davis. To make room for the 5-foot-9 wideout, the Eagles waived cornerback Mitchell White.

Davis went undrafted in April's NFL draft. The Charlottesville, Virginia, native had 114 catches for 1,549 yards and 11 career touchdowns in four years at JMU.

In 2016, Davis caught 42 passes for 530 yards and three scores. He also has punt return experience, with 21 career punt returns in college. Last season, he picked up 426 yards on 15 returns. He had 19 total kick returns in college but none in 2016.

With Lucas and Davis, the Eagles have now added two more receivers after trading Jordan Matthews to the Bills on Friday. Matthews suffered a chest injury in his first practice with Buffalo on Sunday (see story).

White, a Michigan State product, signed with the Eagles in January after spending two seasons with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL. He was on the 2016 Grey Cup with Montreal.

The Eagles' roster remains full at 90.
