Philadelphia Eagles release LB Mychal Kendricks

The most shocking news of the day happened late Tuesday afternoon. Just hours after the Philadelphia Eagles wrapped up the first day of OTAs, they decided to release a well-known veteran. After spending six seasons with the Eagles, the team has decided to part ways with 27-year-old linebacker Mychal Kendricks.

ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported the news of the release on Tuesday. While the Eagles were expected to move on from Kendricks, it comes at a strange time. Just this past afternoon, the already thin-in-depth linebacker position suffered yet, another hit. Veteran linebacker Paul Worrilow was carted off the practice field in an air cast.
