There were some new faces at Wednesday’s practice. Defensive end Charles Harris was wearing No. 95 and practice squad DE K.J. Henry was wearing No. 50. The Eagles claimed Harris off waivers from Carolina and signed Henry on Tuesday.
Wide receiver Kyle Philips was also back on the practice field in his No. 86. The Eagles released Philips from the practice squad back on Nov. 20 and…
