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

LB Emmanuel Acho
OL Josh Andrews
RB Kenjon Barner
