Eagles promote QB Hall off practice squadAssociated Press


PHILADELPHIA -- A day after putting Pro Bowl running back Brian Westbrook on injured reserve, the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday signed practice squad quarterback Andy Hall to take his place.

Hall, a second-year player out of Delaware who spent all of last season on the Eagles' practice squad, has been on and off the roster this year as the team struggled with injuries.

Westbrook was the fourth of the Eagles' Pro Bowl performers to go on IR in a month, joining quarterback Donovan McNabb, cornerback Lito Sheppard and tackle Tra Thomas.

The Eagles also signed rookie tight end Jonas Crafts to the practice squad Tuesday.

Might as well give him a shot, let him play maybe the 4th quarter. It appears Mike McMahon ain't that hott of a backup. Neither is Koy "Boy" Detmer.

Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my Iggles, my poor poor E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!

The Eagles liked Hall's mobility when they drafted him but were always concerned about his tendency to take off when things didn't look good downfield. He did not impress that much last year with the Eagles and then had injury problems (and some poor performances) with NFL Europe. My view is that Hall actually sees the field only if McMahon and Detmer go down. Right now he can do no worse than the other back ups but the Eagles are out of it and need to chalk the 2005 year up as the season from Hell as do my Hens. :mad:

The story seems to say that they are lining him up at RB.

He might have been the fastest offensive player on the '02 and '03 Hens team. Hall definetely had the legs!!! Ask Hofstra.
