The Eagles announced today that they’ve promoted linebacker Ryan Rau to the active roster and placed offensive lineman Nate Menkin on injured reserve.

Rau (6-1, 230) was signed in the offseason as an undrafted free agent out of Portland State.

Menkin was claimed off waivers from the Texans in September. He had been inactive for the first 12 games. Menkin Tweeted about the injury yesterday.
