The Eagles have waived linebacker Steven Daniels. It was a short stay for Daniels, who was claimed off waivers from the Redskins just last month.
In his final year at Boston College, Daniels tallied 82 total tackles, including 16.0 tackles for a loss and 6.0 sacks. The Redskins went on to use a seventh-round pick on him in 2016, but he never saw live action thanks to a torn labrum.
The Eagles did not select a linebacker in the draft this year (first-round pick Derek Barnett profiles more as a defensive end), so it seemed like Daniels had a shot at making the final cut. For one reason or another, he has been jettisoned long before that point.
Nigel Bradham, Jordan Hicks, and Mychal Kendricks project as the starting linebackers for the Eagles with Kamu Grugier-Hill, Najee Goode, Joe Walker, Alex McCalister, and fifth-round pick Nate Gerry among those pushing for reserve jobs.
