IS GLAD SPRING TRAINING IS FINALLY HERE
The Eagles worked out a pair of defensive ends this week, according to Scout.com's Adam Caplan.
As Eagletarian confirmed earlier this week, one of those players was Marcus Howard.
Per Caplan, the other DE was Terrance Carter.
Carter spent two seasons at Colorado State in 2004 and 2005. He is 26 years old.
Howard was a fifth-round pick of the Colts in 2008 and appeared in nine games as a DE and special teams player last season, finishing with 1.5 sacks.
The Birds currently have six defensive ends on their roster: Trent Cole, Juqua Parker, Chris Clemons, Victor Abiamiri, Darren Howard and Jason Babin. Abiamiri and Howard are generally used inside in the nickel package. Babin was active for the first time in Week 3 after signing with the Birds during training camp. The Eagles have no defensive ends on their practice squad.
Here's a quick roundup of where the Eagles are in national power rankings:
