It appears just like the Eagles might want to make some roster strikes following accidents to a number of starters within the first two video games of the season, and the crew began by releasing LB Rashaan Evans from the apply squad and waiving RB Trey Sermon from IR on Friday.
Evans was signed when the Eagles thought they’re greatest challenge was at linebacker following Nakobe Dean’s harm, however now with the cornerback place wanting somewhat skinny, they’re in all probability altering their method. That, or after per week of apply, determined to look elsewhere for some extra depth. [UPDATE: It was reported that Evans asked to be released due to other options he’s considering.]
Sermon’s launch has to sting for head coach Nick Sirianni who, since they signed the RB in 2022, has persistently sang his praises. Nonetheless, having began the season on IR, he wasn’t going to have the ability to contribute as shortly because the crew wants with each Kenny Gainwell and Boston Scott now coping with accidents of their very own.
It’ll be fascinating to see what the crew does with these roster spots, particularly contemplating it’s somewhat uncommon for Howie Roseman to make a reduce with out already having an addition he desires to make. However, the Eagles have some further time earlier than their Week 3 sport, and that is the proper time for Howie and the coaches to have a look at roster constructing and fill some very particular roles based mostly on accidents the primary two weeks of the season.
