PHILADELPHIA Jan 25, 2005 — Tight end Jeff Thomason is going to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles after being out of the NFL the last two seasons.
Thomason signed with the Eagles on Tuesday to replace tight end Chad Lewis, who scored two touchdowns but also injured his foot in Philadelphia's 27-10 victory over Atlanta in the NFC championship game.
Lewis was put on injured reserve to make roster space.
Thomason spent three seasons with the Eagles but hasn't played since 2002. Seven of his 25 catches with Philadelphia were touchdowns.
Thomason began his career with Cincinnati in 1992 and played five seasons in Green Bay, before coming to Philadelphia in 2000. He has 67 receptions for 650 yards and 10 TDs in 10 seasons.
