PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles have signed quarterback Christian Hackenberg and waived rookie offensive lineman Ian Park.
Hackenberg was selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the New York Jets in 2016 but didn’t play in a game. He was traded to Oakland in May for a conditional 2019 draft pick and was released two weeks later.
The Eagles already have plenty of quarterback but Hackenberg gives them another arm in camp while Carson Wentz continues his recovery following surgery to repair two torn knee ligaments. Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles missed practices last week but returned Saturday. Nate Sudfeld and Joe Callahan took the snaps in the preseason opener.
Hackenberg starred at Penn State but his NFL career has been disappointing.
The New York Giants have signed rookie first-round pick running back Saquon Barkley to a contract.
The No. 2 overall selection from Penn State rushed for 3 LaDainian Tomlinson Jersey ,843 yards and 43 touchdowns and caught 102 passes, eight for scores, in three seasons with the Nittany Lions. He had 5 C. J. Beathard Jersey ,538 total yards on 791 touches for averages of 7.0 yards per play and 145.7 yards per game.
Barkley joins four draft choices who had previously signed: guard Will Hernandez of UTEP (second round), outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter of Georgia (third round), defensive tackle B.J. Hill of North Carolina State (third round) Tre Madden Jersey , and quarterback Kyle Lauletta of Richmond (fourth round).
Defensive tackle RJ McIntosh, a fifth-rounder, also signed later in the day Calvin Munson Jersey , completing the team's draft class.
Coach Pat Shurmur will hold his first practice Monday with the team's rookies, quarterbacks and selected veterans.
