This much according to a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mikegarafolo\/status\/2064011725272199653?s=46&amp;t=3jPbbNs3msuS4SxUxtDR8g\" rel=\"nofollow\">NFL insider Mike Garafolo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 5-11, 201-pound Proche was originally a sixth-round pick (No. 201 overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent three years in Charm City before bouncing on and off the Cleveland Browns\u2019 roster from 2023-2024. Proche then played for the Tennessee Titans last season. He has experience lining up both in the slot and the outside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">With just 677 career offensive snaps (112.8 per season) and 364 career receiving yards (60.7 per season) to his name, Proche will be fighting an uphill battle to make the Eagles\u2019 53-man roster. That is, assuming he even makes the 90-man roster after a successful tryout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">One factor potentially working in Proche\u2019s favor is that he has a track record of contributing on special teams with 442 career snaps in that phase. Including the playoffs, he\u2019s logged 71 career punt returns for an 8.7 average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">At the very least, Proche will help the Eagles fill some practice reps this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During this time, the Birds will be hosting free agent wide receiver James Proche II on a tryout&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,46147,99],"class_list":["post-692034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
