Eagles waived/injured Joe Ostman to get down to 80 players

The Philadelphia Eagles waived/injured Joe Ostman on Tuesday afternoon, according to an official announcement from the team.

The Eagles had been listing Ostman as ‘day-to-day’ with a concussion that caused him to miss over a week of practice.

The impetus to cut him came from the Eagles needing to trim their roster down to 80 players ahead of the 4:00 PM Eastern deadline today, Tuesday, August 24. The team previously waived four players on Monday.

Ostman wasn’t a strong contender to make the 53-man roster but his departure is still notable.
