Eagles Release Linebacker Devin White

The Philadelphia Eagles have released linebacker Devin White, who was unable to secure a spot on the active roster after a disappointing start to the season. White, who signed a one-year contract in March, was inactive for all four games and lost his starting role to Nakobe Dean during training camp. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni praised White's professionalism throughout the situation, noting his positive attitude despite not playing. The decision to cut White allows rookie Jeremiah Trotter Jr. to step up as the new backup middle linebacker, showcasing the team's depth at the position. Dean emphasized the importance of consistency in their play, stating that the linebackers can help mitigate the team's defensive mistakes. White's release comes as the Eagles aim to solidify their defense ahead of their next game against the Cleveland Browns.
