TheKillerNacho Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/08/17/eagles-waive-kerryon-johnson/ Was waived with an injury designation. If unclaimed, he will go to IR (probably released with settlement). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) He went from extremely encouraging as a rookie, to potentially out of the NFL a few years later. Edited August 17, 2021 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) He was competing with Jordan Howard for the backup RB spot. When we signed him Howard was seen as a long shot because of his stint with the Dolphins, but Howard showed up to camp in fantastic shape and immediately took the backup spot within days. He wasn't really in the running for the 3rd or 4th RB spot because Scott is the third down back and Kenny Gainwell is a rookie who will return kicks and do some pass catching. He wasn't making the team regardless of injury status, but the injury did get him out of camp faster.

SteelKing728 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Why did the Eagles ever let Corey Clement go? He looked good his rookie year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Had that one big year at Auburn that made it seem like he could be a good one. Man feels like so long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good pass block rep which he got praise from Sirianni for the next day of practice, but that is an area he needs to keep improving to be on the field on 3rd downs more. Only had 2 carries for 14 yards (9 and 5 a piece) and 2 receptions (10 and 6 yards). Thought for a smaller back he did a good job fighting through contact. Dragged guys for extra yards on at least 2-3 of those 4 plays from what I remember. This was one of those instances. Slipped trying to plant on the Texas route, but quickly regained his balance, caught the pass shed the LB off him & pulled the corner tackling him after for a few more. Not sure he'll play a huge role early on in the season, but I hope he can keep proving himself in pass protection in these preseason games and practice, so he gets the opportunity, because it seems like Miles Sanders is still dropping passes unfortunately even though he's working on his hands. Boston Scott is a nice spell guy, but that's what he is. Jordan Howard surprisingly has shown up in better shape to camp than he has been in the past couple years. I think last year made him realize he can be out of the NFL quick. Obviously he showed enough to make the Eagles feel Kerryon was expendable. The injury definitely didn't help though. Laid a great block at 1:40 last Thursday in the limited time he was in. I hope Kerryon latches on somewhere though, cause he's a great pass protecting back too and seems like a great dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
