"JEREMY CLARK said yesterday he thinks he remembers the Eagles' defense well enough, even though Clark has been a Giant, a Falcon, a Giant again, a Cardinal, a Cowboy and a Redskin since he last practiced at NovaCare.

Clark is a 27-year-old defensive tackle who spent the 2007 season on the Eagles' practice squad as a free-agent rookie out of Alabama. He returned to the team yesterday, signed after rookie Jeff Owens went on injured reserve, Owens having ruptured a patellar tendon only a few snaps into his NFL debut, Tuesday night against the Vikings.

"Once you learn something, it kinda sticks with you. Even though I've learned a few other schemes, even playing in a couple of 3-4 defenses, once you learn it, it never really goes away," said Clark, cut by the Redskins on Christmas Day.

"It's been quite an experience. I've been to quite a few NFC East teams," Clark said. "Kind of fun coming back to where it all started. All in all, glad to be back, ready to work again."

The Eagles added both Clark and former Saints and Jaguars defensive end Bobby McCray yesterday, and jettisoned defensive end Derrick Burgess, who rejoined the team 2 weeks ago. Burgess played a handful of snaps Tuesday against the Vikings, apparently not terribly well."
