Eagles News: Eagles Bring back C.J. Uzomah

According to Zach Berman, Philadelphia brought back tight end C.J. Uzomah to the practice squad. In a corresponding move, they release Cade Sterns.

Uzomah originally signed with the Eagles back in April and spent time with the team during training camp. He was eventually released in August but now the Eagles want to bring him back. The 31-year-old was excited to sign with Philadelphia and expressed that feeling back in April.

"I really wanted to come to a place, where in my heart, I have a feeling that we have a great chance to win a Super Bowl this year. It's the culture, the fans, and everything about this team and organization that I have observed as a bystander over the years."

CJ Uzomah

Throughout his career, Uzomah has recorded 192 catches for 1,881 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Philadelphia already has Dallas Goedert, Jack Stoll, and Grant Calcaterra on the active roster. Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. is currently on injured reserve, and Uzomah gives them another quality backup at tight end.
