The Eagles signed quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson, linebacker Don Cherry, and safety Nick Perry on Sunday to bring their roster to the 90-man limit on the eve of their first training camp practice.

Bethel-Thompson was with the Eagles from Feb. 18 to May 17. The 28-year-old has been with four other teams over five years, and he adds another passer to the camp roster. The Eagles had only Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel, and Carson Wentz for the OTAs and mandatory minicamp.

Cherry played for Villanova and joined the Chicago Bears after the draft before a June 17 release. Cherry totaled 331 career tackle and 14 sacks with the Wildcats, and was an all-CAA performer the last three seasons. The Connecticut native is 6-foot-1 and 240 pounds.

Perry was on the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad last season after he went undrafted out of Alabama. The 6-1, 211-pounder finished with 80 tackles and two interceptions as a college senior in 2014.
