The Eagles are waiving wide receiver and Olympic hurdler Devon Allen, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. The news was first reported by Matt Lombardo of Heavy on Sports.
Despite the move to trim down its roster to 53 players for the beginning of the season, it’s reportedly likely that Allen with stay with the organization and make the practice squad.
Allen was a star athlete with Oregon where he was a part of the team’s 2014 NCAA champion squad for the 110-meter hurdles. He played wideout for the Ducks for three seasons before suffering several knee injuries and eventually completely devoting himself to track.
