Eagles make decision on two-time Olympian, set 53-man roster

The Eagles released linebacker Nicholas Morrow and waived running back Trey Sermon Tuesday, and they’ve now cut a number of young players to get down to the 53-man roster limit, per a team announcement:

Waived:

• WR Devon Allen
• LB Quinton Bell
• QB Ian Book
• RB Kennedy Brooks
• DT Robert Cooper
• WR Britain Covey
• CB Mekhi Garner
• G Julian Good-Jones
• WR Jadon Haselwood
• DE Tarron Jackson
• TE Tyree Jackson
• LB Kyron Johnson
• WR Johnny King
• LB Tyreek Maddox-Williams
• S Tristin McCollum
• WR Joseph Ngata
• DE Janarius Robinson
• G Tyrese Robinson
• TE Brady Russell
• DT Olive Sagapolu
• DT Caleb Sanders
• CB Josiah Scott
• G Josh Sills
• P Arryn Siposs
• WR Freddie Swain
• LB Ben VanSumeren
• S K’Von Wallace
• WR Greg Ward
• DT Marvin Wilson

Released from IR:

• WR Tyrie Cleveland

Devon Allen is two-time Olympian hurdler, and after having played college football for Oregon between 2013 and 2016, he caught on with the Eagles last offseason. He spent most of the 2022 campaign on Philly’s practice squad, and there’s a chance he’s destined for the same gig again in 2023.

Britain Covey is another subtraction from the WRs room, but the 26-year-old played only 19 snaps on offense for the Eagles in 2022. He had a much larger role on special teams, where he returned 10 kicks for 206 yards and 33 punts for 308 yards.
