Hes been on and off the Eagles lineup, primarily as the gunner on the punt team. He did really make a huge play in the playoff game against the Seahawks, when he drew a 39-yard pass disturbance call that at least put the Eagles in position to connect the game late, however selections of John Hightower and Quez Watkins in the 2020 draft all but sealed his release.
The Eagles nabbed him up, and he invested the entirety of the season on their practice squad. They cut him the following season, and he was on and off the Packers lineup throughout the season in 2019, prior to the Eagles signed him to their practice team in December.
Needing to cut their lineup to 80 gamers prior to they begin practicing, the Philadelphia Eagles lost little time, announcing that they have waived 5 gamers. They are as follows:
– WR Shelton Gibson: Gibson did not work out as a fifth-round pick in 2017 as a deep danger in the Eagles offense. Hes been on and off the Eagles lineup, primarily as the gunner on the punt group. He did actually make a big play in the championship game versus the Seahawks, when he drew a 39-yard pass disturbance call that a minimum of put the Eagles in position to tie the game late, but selections of John Hightower and Quez Watkins in the 2020 draft all however sealed his release.
– WR Marcus Green: Green was a drafted player in 2019 (sixth round, Falcons) who Atlanta waived at 53-man cutdowns. The Eagles took him up, and he spent the totality of the season on their practice squad. Hes a little person (5 8, 191) with some return ability (5 return TDs in college).
– DE Daeshon Hall: In an extremely unfortunate turn of events, Hall tore his ACL on the final play of the routine season versus the Giants, since Pat Shurmur was calling timeouts in a completely worthless video game (to them) that was totally out of reach. The Eagles might have placed Hall on the PUP list, however instead decided to just cut him.
( To note, Hall would still count toward the 90-man lineup during training school if he were on the PUP list. He would not count the 53-man roster if he remained on PUP into the regular season.).
– DT Albert Huggins: Huggins played in 3 video games for the Eagles last season, and he had 3 deals with. He failed to offer any apparent chances to make a hug pun.
– CB Tremon Smith: Smith was a sixth-round draft pick of the Chiefs in 2018, where he played in 14 games as a rookie, starting one. He was also the Chiefs main kick returner, and the Chiefs even played with him at running back. They cut him the following season, and he was on and off the Packers lineup throughout the season in 2019, prior to the Eagles signed him to their practice squad in December.
By my count, the Eagles lineup stands at 82 (plus DE Matt Leo, a roster-exempt gamer). Two more cuts to go.
