Brown is expected to become a member of the New England Patriots in a matter of hours (?), the Birds are said to be adding another piece to their receiving corps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Toure, who turned 28 in March, was a originally a seventh-round pick (No. 258 overall) by the Green Bay Packers in the 2022 NFL Draft. The 6\u20191\u201d, 196 pound pass-catcher has logged two starts in 23 career games played. He has 261 offensive snaps to his name with just three on special teams. Toure\u2019s 31 targets have resulted in just 14 receptions for 163 yards (11.6 average) and one touchdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Toure most recently played for the New Orleans Saints last season. Prior to that, he overlapped with new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion for a stretch during the 2024 offseason in Green Bay. Toure was on injured reserve during that time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Eagles were short-handed at wide receiver during last week\u2019s OTA practice with Dontayvion Wicks (Toure\u2019s former Packers teammate) missing and Hollywood Brown not taking part in team drills. Adding Toure gives the Eagles more depth and a player who conceivably has some sort of familiarity with Mannion\u2019s offensive approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">He\u2019s likely a long shot to make the 53-man roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But while A.J.
