Goode back on roster after Burton strains calf
The Eagles resigned linebacker Najee Goode after tight end and special teams ace Trey Burton suffered a calf strain in practice on Friday.If anybody still sends Christmas cards, the Trey Burton family ought to be getting a nice one from the Najee Goode family this year.
The Eagles cut Goode, a veteran linebacker and special teams cog, in a surprise move last week. The upshot seemed to be, they were confident he wouldn't be snapped up by another team, and they wanted to leave him off the roster for Sunday's opener against the Cleveland Browns. A vested veteran on the Week 1 roster has his salary for the season guaranteed.
