In advance of Tuesday's 4 PM deadline to get the roster to the 75-man limit, the Eagles released the following 12 players:
Player | Note |
---|---|
TE Derek Carrier | Athletic TE who spent 2012 on practice squad. Flashed in spring, but couldn't make ground in summer. |
LB Jamar Chaney | Versatile linebacker who has extensive starting experience in 4-3. This gives chance to catch on quick with another team before final roster cuts. |
WR Nick Miller | Experienced receiver and returner who had opportunities even in preseason games. |
DT Eddie McClam | Former blocked-kick specialist in college. Signed recently. Got to play Saturday in Jacksonville. |
S Kenny Phillips | Talented safety, but couldn't stay healthy. Knew that he couldn't make the club in the tub. |
T Nic Purcell | Interesting backstory, but Michael Bamiro has become one of the late-risers to provide depth at tackle. |
DL/OL Isaac Remington | Played for Chip Kelly and Jerry Azzinaro at Oregon. Was moved from D-line to O-line in preseason. |
TE Will Shaw | Relatively new to the position. Small-school standout who was athletic, but couldn't climb the depth chart. |
DT Daryell Walker | Eagles have a lot of young, talented depth at this position and Walker could not stand out. |
LS James Winchester | Filled in for Jon Dorenbos and got what any person in his position could ask for - game tape. |
P Brad Wing | Donnie Jones has simply been marvelous in the preseason. |
CB Eddie Whitley (Waived/Injured) | Tough break. Suffered injury Saturday. Was making strong push for roster spot. |
