The Eagles re-signed Book to the practice squad Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Philadelphia had waived Book on Tuesday, but he now reunites with the team as an emergency depth option at quarterback. With Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Kenny Pickett (ribs) unavailable for the Eagles' regular-season finale, Book got a chance to work as the team's top backup behind Tanner McKee against the Giants, though he didn't ultimately play any snaps. Hurts and Pickett are both working to gain clearance in time for Sunday's wild-card contest versus the Packers.

The Eagles waived Book on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Book was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Dec. 26 before being signed to the active roster two days later due to injuries to Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Kenny Pickett (ribs). Book ended up serving as the Eagles' backup quarterback behind Tanner McKee against the Giants on Sunday, though the former didn't play a snap in the regular-season finale. Book could be back on the practice squad in case Hurts is unable to clear the league's concussion protocols in time for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Packers.

Book (coach's decision) is inactive and has been deemed Philadelphia's emergency third quarterback Sunday versus Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Book was signed to the active roster Saturday after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for Week 17 due to a concussion. Kenny Pickett will be the Eagles' starting signal-caller Sunday, while Tanner McKee is set to work as his backup. Book will be able to enter the game only if both Pickett and McKee are unavailable due to injury, illness or ejection.

The Eagles signed Book to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Book failed to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp and has spent most of 2024 without a team. He signed with the Eagles' practice squad earlier in the week due to Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Kenny Pickett (ribs) both dealing with injuries. Hurts has been ruled out, and Pickett will play through it as the starter Week 17, so Tanner McKee and Book will serve as the backup options under center.

Philadelphia signed Book to the practice squad Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Book spent most of 2024 without a team after failing to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Book's addition to the Eagles' practice squad provides insurance at the quarterback position as starter Jalen Hurts (concussion) and backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) are both dealing with injuries, leaving Tanner McKee as the only healthy QB on the 53-man roster. Book could be elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Cowboys if one or both of Hurts or Pickett were inactive. Book has appeared in just one game at the NFL since being selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2021 draft.

The Chiefs cut Book on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Book, who spent the entire offseason with Kansas City, couldn't secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster but may be a candidate to resurface on the practice squad. A 2021 fourth-round pick by the Saints, Book's only career appearance came as a rookie with New Orleans.

The Chiefs signed book to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Book was drafted by New Orleans in the fourth round of the 2021 Draft and played one regular-season game with the Saints, completing 12 of 20 passes for 135 yards and two interceptions while adding six yards on three carries in a 2021 contest against Miami. The reserve/future contract doesn't give the quarterback eligibility for the upcoming postseason, but it will allow Book the opportunity to compete for a roster spot in training camp this summer.

New England cut Book from its practice squad Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Less than a week after signing onto the practice squad, Book is now on his way out. He'll now have to look for another opportunity to make an impression with a different team.

The Patriots signed Book to their practice squad Wednesday, Mark Daniels of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Book will be joining the third organization of his career after stops with the Saints and Eagles over the first two seasons since entering the league as a fourth-round pick in 2021. The former Notre Dame standout will bolster New England's organization depth at quarterback after Matt Corral was moved to the exempt/left squad list Saturday.

The Eagles waived Book on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Book was the No. 4 quarterback on Philly's depth chart. The Notre Dame product has suited up for just one game since entering the league. However, that game was a start with New Orleans, and he ultimately went 12 for 20 on his way to 135 yards and two interceptions. The 25-year-old is now set to look for a new opportunity.
