New Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni is reuniting with a familiar face. The Eagles are signing free agent offensive lineman Le’Raven Clark, a source told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network (Twitter link).

It's a one-year pact, Tim McManus of ESPN tweets. The Colts drafted Clark 82nd overall back in 2016, and Sirianni was his offensive coordinator in Indianapolis the past three seasons.

Philly wasn’t the only team to express interest, as we heard that Clark met with the Bills back in early April. Clark was never a full-time starter with the Colts but usually ended up starting at least a few games per year. He was inserted into the starting lineup at tackle last year but unfortunately went down with an Achilles tear himself in December after starting three games.

With the injury coming so late in the season, it’s unclear if he’ll be ready for Week 1 this year. Clark started at least three games in four of his five seasons with the Colts but never more than five. He started five at guard in 2017, so he’s got some versatility.

The Eagles’ offensive line was really banged up last year, so it’s not surprising they’re looking for additional insurance. Andre Dillard and Lane Johnson currently project as the two starting tackles.
