Eagles Cut Down To 53
The Eagles’ receiving corps became a bit younger on Saturday. Two veterans brought in as possible depth pieces — Markus Wheaton and Kamar Aiken — were informed they will be released.
So was potential secondary cog De’Vante Bausby and rookie UDFA running back Josh Adams, given one of this year’s largest guarantees among the undrafted contingent. Philadelphia also placed safety Chris Maragos on its Reserve/PUP list, shelving him for at least six weeks.
Here are the players the Eagles will not be including on their initial 2018 53-man roster:

Eagles Place Sidney Jones On Reserve/NFI List, Trim Roster
The Eagles have placed rookie cornerback Sidney Jones on the reserve/NFI list, per a team announcement. Consequently, Jones won’t be eligible to practice or play during the first six weeks of the season.
Although Jones suffered a torn Achilles during his pro day in March, the Eagles still used a second-round pick on the former Washington standout. Jones looked like a first-rounder in the making after a stellar three-year Huskies career that saw him intercept eight passes. When the Eagles signed Jones, they inserted language in his contract that will pay him his full 2017 base salary even if he spends the season on the NFI list.
Along with the Jones transaction, the Eagles announced that they’ve waived 14 players to bring their roster to 70:
- LB Don Cherry
- DT Winston Craig
- WR Rashard Davis
- TE Anthony Denham
- QB Dane Evans
- LB Carlos Fields
- CB Aaron Grymes
- DE Jake Metz
- C Tyler Orlosky
- T Victor Salako
- LB Christian Tago
- WR Paul Turner (injury settlement)
- DT Gabe Wright
- TE Adam Zaruba
