The Eagles signed Garner to their practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Garner was placed on Philadelphia's injured reserve list in August due to a hamstring injury and was subsequently waived with an injury settlement. The 24-year-old cornerback is presumably now healthy and has linked up with the Eagles again. Garner played in four games with Philadelphia last year, tallying 26 defensive snaps and 44 special-teams snaps without recording any additional stats.

The Eagles waived Garner (hamstring) from IR with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garner suffered a hamstring injury in early August and was waived with an injury designation Aug. 17. He subsequently went unclaimed and reverted to injured reserve, but since he's reached an injury settlement with Philadelphia, he'll be able to seek work with another organization once healthy.

Philadelphia waived Garner (hamstring) with an injury designation Saturday.

Garner missed Monday's practice with a hamstring issue, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year cornerback out of LSU is likely fighting for one of the last spots on Philadelphia's 53-man roster, so this hamstring injury could substantially hurt his chances. Expect Garner to compete for a special-teams role once he returns to full health.

Garner isn't practicing Saturday due to an ankle injury, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
