The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Sunday evening that linebacker Paul Worrilow has been released. The move doesn’t come as an overly surprising one given his recent battle with a knee injury and the signing of QB Josh McCown.
Worrilow signed a prove-it contract last offseason after a strong year in Detroit where he started eight of 13 games played. He registered 20 tackles, one pass defensed, and a fumble recovery in the process. Prior to this, he started 43 games for the team to give him his first shot in the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons. The strong special teamer suffered a torn ACL during the 2018 offseason, which forced Worrilow to miss his ‘prove-it’ year in Philadelphia.
