Eagles release ten players

The Eagles released ten players Saturday, trimming their roster to 80 players. They have until 4 p.m. Monday to get to 75.

The following players were cut a day after the Eagles beat the Browns, 27-10, in their third preseason game:

Wide receiver Elvis Akpla, safety Wade Bonner, defensive end Xavier Brown, wide receiver Brian Hernandez, wide receiver McKay Jacobson, wide receiver Tiger Jones, guard Alfred McCullough, safety Tom Nelson, cornerback Kevin Thomas and tackle Thomas Welch.

Nelson (ankle) and Hernandez (ankle) were injured.

The Eagles received Thomas, along with a 2013 seventh-round draft pick, from the Colts earlier this month in exchange for linebackers Moise Fokou and Greg Lloyd.

Nelson was acquired last December after Colt Anderson tore his anterior cruciate ligament and played in the final four games of the season.

The Eagles have until 9 p.m. Friday to get their roster to the league-mandated number of 53.
