Eagles cut a corner to bring back a linebacker

The Philadelphia Eagles waived cornerback Alex Brown in order to sign free agent linebacker Asantay Brown, according to an official announcement from the team.

That’s kinda funny. The Eagles signed A. Brown and cut A. Brown.

The Eagles made this move because they had some linebacker reps to fill with Kamu Grugier-Hill going down with an MCL injury. Paul Worrilow has also missed a number of practices and has been described as “week-to-week” with a knee issue.

The Eagles originally signed Brown as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2018 NFL Draft.
