Eagles sign rookie linebacker Cherry, two others

The Eagles added three players Sunday, including rookie outside linebacker Don Cherry of Villanova.

All 90 roster spots are filled entering the first day of training camp Monday.

Quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson (6-3, 230), who was on the Eagles’ practice squad last season and safety Nick Perry (6-0, 205), a veteran of the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad, also agreed to deals and will join Cherry at practice along with quarterbacks, rookies and select veterans.

The first full-squad practice is Thursday.

Cherry (6-1, 236) signed with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent but was released June 17. The Trumbull, Conn. product earned All-CAA honors annually at Villanova starting with his sophomore season.

Cherry finished his Wildcats career with 331 tackles, including 46 for loss and 14 sacks. Cherry had 3 sacks in a game against Maine.

The Eagles signed BethelThompson to their practice squad last February but cut him May 17. The 28-year-old journeyman out of Sacramento State spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots but didn’t appear in any games.

Perry joined the Ravens as an undrafted rookie out of Alabama. In his last season with the Crimson Tide he registered 80 tackles, two interceptions and six pass breakups.

Bethel Thompson will wear jersey No. 4, Cherry 48 and Perry 28.
