Eagles waive CB Eddie Whitley with injury settlement

The Eagles have reportedly waived cornerback Eddie Whitley with an injury settlement.

#Eagles and CB Eddie Whitley (knee) came to an injury settlement. He is no longer on Injured Reserve.

Whitley was having a decent training camp and preseason for himself prior to suffering a leg injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. He had a fighting chance of making the team's final 53 man roster.

Whitley was cut and subsequently put on the Eagles Injured Reserve list earlier this week when the Eagles cut the roster down to 75. With news of this injury settlement, he's no longer on IR.

The Eagles are seriously lacking depth at CB and could be looking to add some option(s) in the near future.
