Veteran WR Will Try To Reboot Career With Eagles

The Eagles have a depth issue at wide receiver that was magnified when veteran DeVante Parker did a 180 after signing with Philadelphia in March. Parker reversed course this week, instead deciding he wanted to spend more time with his family rather than pursuing a 10th year in the NFL. Parker was officially played on the reserve/retired list Wednesday, and a day later the Eagles are affording an opportunity to John Ross to reboot his once-promising career as a backup to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The 5-foot-11, 194-pound Ross attended the Eagles' recent rookie camp as a tryout player and when the need arose he got the first call.
