Eagles add four more to roster

The Eagles added three more undrafted free agents yesterday, and claimed guard Shawn Murphy off waivers from Tampa Bay. Murphy, 6-4, 315, is the 27-year-old son of former Braves and Phillies outfielder Dale Murphy. He played at Utah State, then was drafted in the fourth round in 2008 by Miami. The Bucs picked him up when the Dolphins cut him last October.

The Eagles added three more undrafted free agents yesterday, and claimed guard Shawn Murphy off waivers from Tampa Bay.

Murphy, 6-4, 315, is the 27-year-old son of former Braves and Phillies outfielder Dale Murphy. He played at Utah State, then was drafted in the fourth round in 2008 by Miami. The Bucs picked him up when the Dolphins cut him last October.

Also added to the roster for the minicamp that starts Friday are wide receiver Keithon Flemming, from West Texas A & M; defensive end Eric Moncur, from Miami; and corner Devin Ross, from Arizona.

The Birds are well above the 80-man roster limit, but technically aren't since none of their 13 draft picks has signed.

Meanwhile, middle linebacker Stewart Bradley told the team Web site that he has been cleared to practice in the minicamp. This was expected; Bradley underwent ACL surgery nearly 9 months ago.

McNabb clinic stays

Donovan McNabb intends to keep his annual kids football clinic in the Philadelphia area.

The clinic had been held at the NovaCare Complex, but has moved to Marlton, N.J., and set for Saturday, June 12 at the Memorial Sports Complex. The clinic is open to boys and girls ages 11-16 and is non-contact, led by McNabb and experienced coaches and NFL talent. The clinic will also feature some of South Jersey's top high school and community program coaches.

"I'm excited to continue the Kids' Clinic in this region," McNabb said. "We've been able to provide a fun, energetic, atmosphere for many kids over the years. That won't change just because my uniform has."

Proceeds will benefit the Donovan McNabb Fund in partnership with Virtua and help fund The McNabb Family Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the new Virtua Voorhees Hospital, to open next spring. For more info: www.Donovan McNabbKidsClinic.com.
