Instant analysis: Eagles waive/injured WR Shelton Gibson & sign a cornerback

The Eagles announced an interesting roster move on Sunday night that spelled the end of an era for one 2016 NFL Draft pick.

WR Shelton Gibson as waived with an injury designation and if he clears waivers, he’ll land on the team’s IR, which is important to note. But until then, it’s goodbye for the former WVU receiver who was once poised to fill ‘the need for speed’.

Through his first two seasons, Shelton Gibson had three catches for 59 yards. That production alone is worrying, but 48 of those yards came on a reception against the Vikings last year.
