Eagles Claim Defensive Tackle Byron Young

Byron Young, a former third-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders, has been claimed by the Philadelphia Eagles after being released by the Raiders. Young, who played only six games and recorded four tackles in his rookie season, was a standout player at Alabama, earning First-Team All-SEC honors and amassing a total of 139 tackles during his college career. The Eagles, who are preparing for their season opener against the Green Bay Packers, now have Young among a crowded defensive tackle group. Additionally, former Saints linebacker Monty Rice has signed with the Atlanta Falcons after being waived by New Orleans, joining a team that has a fierce rivalry with the Saints. Meanwhile, former Eagles linebacker Shaquille Leonard is still searching for a new team, with the Green Bay Packers being suggested as a potential fit. As the NFL season approaches, teams are actively reshaping their rosters to enhance their competitiveness.
