Eagles release four players; roster at 84 players

The Eagles released four players on Sunday: Wide receivers T.J Graham and Xavier Rush; running back Cedric O’Neal; and center Bruce Johnson.

The roster is now at 84 players. The Eagles must cut nine more players by Aug. 30.

Graham and Rush both joined the team before the draft. Graham is a former third-round pick by the Buffalo Bills who was deep on the depth chart, and Rush was trying to break into the NFL with the Eagles.

O’Neal and Johnson were both undrafted rookies. O’Neal was the sixth running back on the depth chart, with Kenjon Barner, Wendell Smallwood, and Byron Marshall distinguishing themselves as the players trying to back up Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles.
