A move that was overdue.
The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran wide receiver Miles Austin, according to a report from Howard Eskin. Interestingly enough, Eskin also reports Chip Kelly was facing pressure to cut the much-maligned receiver.
Same sources tell me Chip Kelly was getting some pressure from within to cut Miles Austin and #Eagles finally did it. @FOX29philly

This move hardly comes as a surprise. The team made Austin a healthy scratch in Philadelphia's game against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
