The Eagles announced a slew of moves on Saturday to get down to the 53-player limit. Among those who were cut was kicker Alex Henery, a fourth round pick by the Eagles in the 2011 Draft.

Henery had been on the chopping block since last season, as his leg strength continually came under fire.

Taking Henery’s place as the Eagles’ kicker is Cody Parkey, an undrafted rookie out of Auburn who the Eagles acquired on August 20 in a trade with the Colts.

Parkey was impressive in two preseason games with the Eagles, making field goals of 53 and 54 yards on Thursday against the Jets.

Other notable cuts included fifth-round pick Ed Reynolds, Matthew Tucker and Damaris Johnson.

Below is the complete list of players the Eagles released on Saturday:
LB Emmanuel Acho
OL Josh Andrews
RB Kenjon Barner
CB Roc Carmichael
T Kevin Graf
K Alex Henery
WR Damaris Johnson
S Keelan Johnson
RB Henry Josey
LB Josh Kaddu
DT Wade Keliikipi
QB G.J. Kinne
CB Curtis Marsh
WR Ifeanyi Momah
WR Will Murphy
WR Quron Pratt
S Ed Reynolds
DT Damion Square
RB Matthew Tucker

Notes: WR Arrelious Benn (lower back) and LB Travis Long (ACL tear) were placed on Injured Reserve.
