In addition, the Eagles also placed Jason Peters on the reserve/non-football injury list and have placed Mike Patterson on the reserve/non-illness list. Both players will be eligible to resume practicing between Weeks 6 and 9, with Patterson having a legitimate chance to play this season.

The club also placed guard Mike Gibson on IR with a minor injury to his hip flexor.
Previous cuts included the following players:
- Elvis Akpla, Wide Receiver
- Wade Bonner, Safety
- Xavier Brown, Defensive End

- Tiger Jones, Wide Receiver
- Alfred McCullough, Guard
