PHILADELPHIA - An intriguing first year Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has had as the team's personnel man may not be over yet.
Adam Caplan of ESPN and Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com both reported that the Eagles hosted Bengals running back Cedric Peerman on Tuesday.
Collecting 315 rushing yards in a six-year career out of Virginia, his production has been limited since being claimed off waivers by Cincinnati in 2010, rushing only five times as a backup over the last two seasons.
In 2012, he had two long returns off fake punts, though would fall down the team's depth chart after rookie back Jeremy Hill emerged and overtook then-starter Giovani Bernard last season.
That year was Peerman's best overall, rushing 36 times for 258 yards and his only career touchdown.
Philadelphia needs little help in their backfield with the addition of former Cowboys runner DeMarco Murray and former Chargers back Ryan Mathews. Darren Sproles and Chris Polk are still with the Birds, too, so Peerman, if signed, would likely start out on special teams.
