Doug Pederson disputed the notion that the Eagles changed their decision on Josh Huff this week, insisting that he always left open the possibility that Huff would be disciplined and that he did not need to be persuaded into releasing the wide receiver.
When Pederson met with reporters on Wednesday - one day after Huff's arrest for gun and drug charges - he said that Huff would play on Sunday against the New York Giants. When Pederson spoke on Friday in his first public comments since Huff's dismissal on Thursday, he emphasized that the Eagles were still in the information-gathering process on Wednesday and that he was on board with the decision to release Huff.
