Philadelphia signed Harris to its practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) on the injured reserve list, the Eagles saw fit to bring the veteran Harris on board to potentially provide some depth at safety during the home stretch of the season.

Rotowire
Harris had eight total tackles in Sunday's 43-34 loss to Green Bay. He struggled in pass coverage, giving up two receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on five targets, according to Pro Football Focus.
