By Paul Bowman, Eagledelphia Managing Editor Eagles Resign Aiken, Release Wheaton

The Eagles have reportedly resigned wide receiver Kamar Aiken.

Across 66 games, Aiken has 143 catches for 1672 yards, however he has only eclipsed 30 receptions in a season once in his career (2015).

Aiken appeared in the first two preseason games for the Eagles last month, but he did not register a single pass before going down with an injury and missing the final two games.

To make room, Markus Wheaton was released. Wheaton did not make the 53-man roster out of training camp, but was signed after Mack Hollins was placed on IR. Wheaton was expected to make the roster prior to getting injured. He appeared in only the final preseason game and did not have a reception.
