Just a few days ago, the Cleveland Browns signed receiver Braxton Miller just days after his release by the Eagles.

On Friday, it was announced that another recently released Eagles is signing with a new team.

On Monday, the Eagles brought in linebacker Chris Worley and released Paul Worrilow, who had been continuing to deal with knee inflammation and was unable to play.

Despite fans rooting for the Delaware product to return to the team following his re-signing with the Eagles this offseason, Worrilow just never got enough time to practice and LJ Fort, Alex Singleton and TJ Edwards all moved ahead of him on the depth chart.

He was only out of a job for five days, however. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that the Baltimore Ravens will be signing the recently cut Eagle.

The Eagles had a lot of guys step up in the second preseason game against the Jaguars.

Their third preseason game against the Ravens did not go nearly as well.

The Eagles played a very ugly first half and saw some less-than-ideal plays from some young guys that had previously come up big for the team.

Just when it seemed the team put it all together and ready to erase a 26-point deficit, lightning forced a delay and the eventual cancellation of the game.

Howie Roseman has struck a deal from a position of depth.

As I covered yesterday, the Eagles are already with a defensive line that really has six ends and five tackles worthy of making the roster.

That doesn't include DE Eli Harold, who the team acquired via trade a few weeks ago, or DT Bruce Hector who was turning some heads at camp.

The Eagles GM has struck another deal to make his own decisions on the line a bit easier.

Week Three Preseason Preview: Baltimore Ravens at Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles will host the Baltimore Ravens for their third game of the preseason Thursday night. Through two games, we’ve seen some good play from younger players, some really ugly performances from other young players and next to nothing from the starters. After the injuries to both Nate Sudfeld and Cody Kessler, I’m starting to think that’s a good thing.

While the third game of the preseason is traditionally the game where the starters play the most during the preseason, I’m still not sure what to expect. Given the way that the coaching staff has handled playing starters this preseason, we probably won’t know the playing status of any starters until a couple hours prior to kickoff.

Braxton Miller Signs With Browns Four Days After His Release By Eagles

On Saturday, the Eagles released a player from a position of depth in order to make room for the signing of Josh McCown.

The team moved on from receiver Braxton Miller, who had also been discussed as the emergency backup quarterback just days earlier.

Ultimately, the team said Greg Ward Jr. would have been the emergency backup and Miller's chances of almost zero to crack the 53-man roster or practice squad were his undoing.

Miller may be the only receiver whose name was never mentioned in connection with a big catch or diving catch in camp, but that didn't stop other teams from wanting to give him a chance.

How Will The Eagles Deal With Excess Depth

The Eagles certainly have some roster battles in camp and not all may be ideal with the third quarterback on the roster and much of linebacker room as some examples.

Luckily, the team does have the opposite scenario at a few positions. This is excellent news for the team, but it forces difficult decisions to be made.

While there is really no such thing as excess depth because a team can never have too much, the simple fact is that the Eagles have a few positions where there are guys deserving of a 53-man roster spot that they might not have enough spots for.

The Eagles began the first of their joint practices with the Ravens in the heat on Monday.

These practices are arguably the most important for guys returning from injury and guys trying to make the roster as it gives them reps that can be similar to game reps.

They also allow the team to setup in key situations to see how players will perform in situations such as fourth and goal.

Eagles Sign Linebacker Chris Worley

With veteran linebacker Paul Worrilow, who signed with the team last offseason and re-signed earlier this offseason, continuing to deal with knee issues and the potential that he might never play in an NFL game again, the Eagles moved on from the veteran last weekend.

The team filled his spot with another linebacker on Monday morning, bringing in second-year man Chris Worley.

After losing quarterbacks Nate Sudfeld to a broken wrist and Cody Kessler to a concussion, the Eagles felt they needed to make a change.

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles have signed Josh McCown, who announced his retirement earlier this offseason, to a one-year deal.

Compensation update: Eagles are giving Josh McCown a one-year deal that includes $2 million fully guaranteed and could be worth up to $5.4 million, per source.
