If they hadn’t just somehow managed to win a Super Bowl without their starting quarterback, and their nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle, and their starting middle linebacker and defensive play caller, and their most versatile running back, and their special-teams ace, there probably would be a little more trepidation right now over the state of the Eagles’ linebacking corps.
The release of Mychal Kendricks and a season-ending knee injury to free-agent addition Paul Worrilow on the same day this spring have left the Eagles without a lot of playing experience at linebacker beyond starters Nigel Bradham and Jordan Hicks.
