The Eagles promoted cornerback Craig James to the active roster from the practice squad, two days before their matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

The 23-year-old James played 11 snaps on special teams and one snap on defense in the Week 2 game at Atlanta. He suited up in three games for the Minnesota Vikings as a rookie last season. A rookie free agent out of Southern Illinois, James had 67 tackles, five interceptions, and 25 passes defensed in 20 career collegiate games.

To make room for James, wide receiver Greg Ward has been waived.
