Former Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor worked out for the Cleveland Browns during the team’s rookie minicamp on Friday, according to Browns reporters.

Reagor wore the No. 83 jersey during practice. He caught passes from Browns rookie quarterback Taylen Green during 7-on-7s.

This could be Reagor’s last chance to stick on an NFL roster.

The Eagles drafted Reagor with the 21st pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, one picked ahead of four-time All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who looks like a future Hall of Famer.

Reagor was one of general manager Howie Roseman’s worst mistakes. He played two seasons with the Eagles before getting traded to the Minnesota Vikings prior to the 2022 season.

In those two seasons, Reagor only caught 64 passes for 685 yards and three touchdowns. His lack of production and rough performances caused him to fall out of favor with Philadelphia’s organization.
