Eagles sign veteran offensive lineman Will Beatty

Beatty has played only six games since 2014, but is a former starter with the Giants.

The Eagles continued adding veterans to their roster for a postseason push by signing offensive tackle Will Beatty on Tuesday, and they waived offensive tackle Taylor Hart.

Beatty, 32, has played only six games since 2014. But he started 63 games for the New York Giants' offensive line between 2009 and 2014, even winning a Super Bowl with the Giants. He's the second player the Eagles signed this week who has a Super Bowl ring. The 6-foot-6, 319-pound Connecticut product grew up in York, Pa.

Beatty provides experience to a line that already lost Jason Peters for the season. The Eagles will likely stick with Halapoulivaati Vaitai at left tackle, with Beatty and Isaac Seumalo as the top reserve options.
