The former Bucs first-round pick at linebacker left this offseason when he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was expected to make his season debut last week but was out due to injury. His replacement, Nakobe Dean, played extremely well in his place.
Due to that, a change is already happening in Philadelphia.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio announced on Wednesday that Dean would remain the starter, and White would be moving down the depth chart. The former LSU Tiger has had his fair share of struggles since his rookie season. All of which are on the field, but he has been unable to get in a groove regarding coverage assignments.
Todd Bowles’s defense is similar to Vic Fangio’s in that it demands a lot from everyone on defense. When someone on the roster isn’t able to handle their assignments, they will find someone that does. Unfortunately for him, the Eagles have already found that replacement while he heals up and works his way back into the fold.
