Eagles to waive RB Jason Huntley

The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving running back Jason Huntley as the team trims the roster down to 53 players by Tuesday at 4:00 PM EST

With Philadelphia stacked at the running back position, the team is waiving talented rusher Jason Huntley ahead of Tuesday’s roster deadline.

Huntley made his case for a spot on the roster, and during the preseason finale, the veteran running back rose to the occasion, logging 11 carries for 93-yards and one 67-yard touchdown scamper late.

The veteran running back joins Jaquiski Tartt and Carson Strong as the first 37 cuts between Monday and Tuesday afternoon.

Huntley could still land on the Eagles practice squad if he’s not claimed.
