James Marten Profile

After filling seven of the eight spots on their practice squad Sunday, the Monsters of the Midway completed the process Monday by bringing in former third-round draft pick James Marten.

Marten, originally selected by the Cowboys in the 2007 NFL Draft, is a native of Indianapolis and played his college football at Boston College. Among his Eagle teammates were third-year guard Josh Beekman and Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year this past season. After being waived by Dallas before last year, Marten signed with Oakland and made his professional debut Sept. 21 but was inactive the final 14 games.

With seventh-round tackle Lance Louis making the 53-man roster ahead of veteran guard Dan Buenning, Marten is the only offensive lineman on Chicago's eight-man practice squad.
