Eagles release linebacker Shaq Quarterman

The Eagles are releasing linebacker Shaq Quarterman just days after signing a former Jaguars free agent to a one-year contract.

Quarterman, 26, played his first four years in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, mostly on special teams.

Devin White, Zack Baun, and Nakobe Dean are battling for a starting position, and the Eagles signed Quarterman as a depth signing. Oren Burks is battling an injury, and Brandon Smith is dealing with a concussion.

After C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered a shoulder injury, Philadelphia signed former Broncos safety Caden Sterns Sunday morning.
