The Eagles’ first free-agent signing was fullback/H-Back/tight end James Casey from the Texans.

All-22: How Arrelious Benn Fits With the Eagles
Last week, the Eagles announced that they’ve acquired wide receiver Arrelious Benn from the Bucs.
A second-round pick in 2010, Benn failed to live up to expectations in three seasons with Tampa. But he’s only 24, has some size (6-2, 220), a versatile skill set and can play special teams.

All-22: What Colt Anderson Is Doing Well
Andy Reid was asked Wednesday what Colt Anderson’s shown to earn one of the starting safety spots.
“We asked him to fill in the line of scrimmage and be a physical player in there and he did a nice job with that,” Reid said. “We needed that at that time and so we’re going to need it this week. They [the Redskins] run the football and do a good job with that so we’ll leave him in that position and let him continue to do that.”
In the past two games, Anderson has 19 tackles, according to team stats, and has made several plays at the line of scrimmage. Below are some examples of what he’s done well – both in run support and coverage.
