Eagles cornerback Daryl Worley was tased and arrested early Sunday morning near the team’s South Philly practice facility. A source close to the situation confirmed an NFL Network report, which said Worley became combative with police. NFL Network also said a gun was recovered from the scene.
Worley, 23, starred at Penn Charter High and at the University of West Virginia before being drafted in the third round by the Carolina Panthers in 2016. Observers were surprised when the Eagles were able to get him in exchange for veteran receiver Torrey Smith early this offseason; salary cap concerns made it likely the team would end up releasing Smith eventually.
