The Eagles have claimed the former Saints quarterback Ian Book off waivers.

Book was a fourth-round pick out of Notre Dame last year. He was waived this week as New Orleans elected to go with just Andy Dalton as the backup to Jameis Winston on the 53-man roster.

Book started one game for New Orleans last year. He was 12-of-20 for 135 yards with a pair of interceptions in the Saints’ loss to the Dolphins.

This preseason, Book completed 42-of-65 passes for 315 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 121 yards on 18 carries.

During his college career at Notre Dame, Book completed 63.8% of his passes for nearly 9,000 yards with 72 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. He was a three-year starter for the fighting Irish.

Signing Book, gives the Eagles three quarterbacks on their 53 man roster.
