Philadelphia Eagles Trim Roster Ahead of Deadline

The Philadelphia Eagles began cutting their roster ahead of the NFL's 53-man limit deadline, releasing four players including offensive lineman Max Scharping, who previously spent time with the Texans and Bengals. Other notable cuts included cornerback/safety James Bradberry, who has struggled recently, and defensive end Tarron Jackson, a sixth-round pick from 2021. The Eagles are deep in the secondary, which may lead to Bradberry's departure despite a strong training camp. Additionally, the team let go of Grier, a quarterback with limited preseason action, and Nickerson, a player with experience across multiple NFL teams. As roster decisions continue, the Eagles are expected to finalize their 53-man group and then begin forming their practice squad soon after. The moves reflect the team's effort to optimize their roster as the new season approaches.
