Newly Signed Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receiver To Make Team Debut This Week

 

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the most loaded teams in the entire NFL, and after making a savvy veteran signing this past week, we now have official word that he's ready to make his Eagles debut in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins.

That would be seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones, who signed with the team earlier this week, and with Jones teaming up alongside Devonta Smith and A.J. Brown, it makes this team even more dangerous, even at 34-years of age. 

Seven-time Pro-Bowl WR Julio Jones, whose 13,269 career receiving yards are the most of any active NFL player, was promoted off Philadelphia’s practice squad today and now is expected to make his Eagles’ debut Sunday night vs. the Dolphins.

A season ago, Jones started just five games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, tallying 24 catches for 299 yards and 2 Touchdowns, and while he's not expected to be a featured part of the offence, if he can contribute as a red-zone threat or a 3rd or 4th receiver on this team, it will be a great value deal for Philly.
