The Eagles made a move at quarterback on Tuesday, waiving Ian Book.
Following the injuries to Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Kenny Pickett (ribs), the Eagles signed Book to the practice squad on December 26 then to the active roster two days later. He did not appear in either of the final two regular-season games while on the active roster.
A fourth-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2021, Book (6-foot, 206 pounds) was claimed off waivers by the Eagles at the end of the 2022 preseason and spent the entire season on the active roster. He dressed for two games, but did not play. He returned in 2023, but did not make the roster out of Training Camp. He briefly spent time with the New England Patriots on their practice squad in 2023 and was with the Kansas City Chiefs this past offseason.
At Notre Dame, Book finished his college career as the school's all-time winningest quarterback (30-5 record) and was a two-time captain, leading the Fighting Irish to two College Football Playoff appearances.
