Ah, good:

Sources: The #Eagles and former #Colts All-Pro LB Shaq Leonard have agreed to terms on a 1-year deal after he took a visit to Philly last week. A potential big addition for the stretch run.

Can he still play? No clue. But he can’t be any worse than what we saw from Nicholas Morrow on Sunday night, who gave up more than 150 YAC yards by himself. Seriously. Jeff McLane tweeted out the statistic from PFF – “Of the 49ers’ 314 passing yards vs. the #Eagles, 213 yards came after the catch. LB Nicholas Morrow, alone, accounted for 151 YAC yards, per PFF. Other Eagles could have helped minimize the damage on those plays, of course. But Morrow, overall, allowed 6 catches for 175 yards on 8 targets. Fellow LB Christian Elliss allowed 2 catches for 33 yards on 3 targets.”
