The Eagles hosted former Oregon running back Kenjon Barner on Friday, league sources tell Aaron Wilson of The National Football Post. Barner spent all of 2013 with the Panthers, compiling six rush attempts in eight games.
The 25-year-old has a pair of connections to the team. First, he played for head coach Chip Kelly while the two were at Oregon. Second, he was acquired by Philadelphia earlier this year for a conditional seventh-rounder. He was ultimately cut with an injury settlement by the Eagles.
