Signing Eason indicates a move for Daniel Jones to go on injured reserve after suffering an ACL injury in Week 9. Eason has bounced around teams since entering the league in 2020, and is now behind Tommy DeVito and Matt Barkley for the Giants. The Giants also added RB Hassan Hall to their practice squad.

Eason has thrown five NFL passes in each of the last two seasons, and has been picked off twice. The Panthers released him in November, and he briefly was on the 49ers practice squad. Still only 25, Eason is essentially a depth journeyman at this point. 

Forced into the game for the Panthers' final series after fill-in starter P.J. Walker suffered a neck injury, Eason generated one fewer passing yard than Walker. He also tossed a game-sealing interception in the end zone, one the Rams corralled following a tip drill. The vast majority of Eason's "production" came on a Christian McCaffrey catch-and-run. Eason could be thrown into the fire for Week 7 vs. the Bucs with Walker and Baker Mayfield (ankle) both highly questionable. Sam Darnold (ankle) still isn't ready, though he could be cleared to practice this week. 

The Seahawks will have 48 active players for Tuesday's game since the seven players on the team's COVID list were not cleared in time; Tyler Lockett and Alex Collins are among that group.
