BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- As rookies and selected veterans report to Lehigh University for the start of training camp, the Eagles announced several roster moves.

The team traded defensive back D.J. Johnson to the Colts for defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu. The 6-foot-1, 305-pound Ogbu, a product of Penn State, spent last season on the Indianapolis practice squad. Johnson has spent time on several NFL rosters over the last few years, including the New York Giants. The Eagles signed him to their practice squad in December.

The Eagles also announced the signings of wide receiver Anthony "Tiger" Jones and cornerback Kee-ayre Griffin. Both players have local ties. Jones (5-11, 195) comes from the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena League, where he played for four seasons.

Griffin (5-10, 182) played at Temple. The Eagles gave him a tryout during rookie minicamp in May.

The roster is now at the maximum of 90.
