The Eagles filled out their eight-man practice squad Monday by signing linebacker Torrance Daniels, tight end Tim Day, safety Dustin Fox, wide receivers Michael Gasperson and Bill Sampy, center Jasper Harvey and fullback Zach Tuiasosopo.
They will join defensive end Christian Mohr, two-time All-NFL Europe selection, who was signed to the practice squad for the 2006 season as part of the NFL's International Development Practice Squad program.
Daniels, Gasperson and Sampy played with the Eagles through training camp.
Day and Harvey were both rookie free agents in 2006. Day was originally signed by the Chicago Bears after catching 86 passes for 1,008 yards and 13 touchdowns in 48 games at the University of Oregon. Harvey, a college teammate of linebacker Matt McCoy at San Diego State, was in the Washington Redskins' training camp.
Fox and Tuiasosopo both join the Eagles with some NFL experience under their belts. Many know the name Tuiasosopo because of Zach's older brother, Marques, who is a quarterback with the Oakland Raiders. The 6-2, 245-pound fullback was a member of the Raiders and Steelers' practice squads last season. Tuiasosopo was a linebacker who converted to fullback while at the University of Washington.
Fox was a third-round pick of the Vikings in 2005, but he was on the injured reserve list with a broken arm. Fox was a former standout at Ohio State.
Members of the practice squad can participate in practices, but do not dress for games. They can be signed by another team at any time.
