The Eagles made a sizable amount of cuts Thursday. They made the rest of their moves to get down to 53 players Saturday. Here are the players the Eagles jettisoned to reach the regular-season limit.
Waived:
- CB Rasul Douglas (story)
- CB Sidney Jones (story)
- DE Shareef Miller (story)
- G Sua Opeta
- DE Joe Ostman
- DT Anthony Rush
- TE Noah Togiai
- T Prince Tega Wanogho
- DT Raequan Williams
Placed on active/PUP list:
The Brooks decision certainly is interesting, especially after the team placed left tackle Andre Dillard on season-ending IR this week. Brooks suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon in June, but the elite blocker has a history of surmounting such an injury. Brooks tore an Achilles in January 2019 and made it back in time for Philadelphia’s opener last season. The team is not ready to shut down its Pro Bowl guard for the season.
Alshon Jeffery also did not land on Philadelphia’s reserve/PUP list, which would have shelved the veteran wideout for six games. Instead, Jeffery — whom the Eagles have attempted to trade for months — is one of seven receivers on the Eagles’ 53-man roster. That will help a team that saw Marquise Goodwin opt out and first-round rookie Jalen Reagor suffer an injury that will keep him out to start the season.
Should release JP&D.Jack!
why did Jax he’s supposed to have a big part in our offense this year so why would you want to release him
Both are unreliable, JP will come off the field every game and DJax will get hurt by game 3 and call it a season. Time to move on from both.
