The Philadelphia Eagles have released running back Ryan Mathews, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
As expected, once Mathews (neck) was medically cleared, the Eagles cut the 29-year-old back, saving them roughly $4 million toward the cap. For Mathews, if he proves that he is healthy, he should wind up in a backup role elsewhere before preseason's end.
In Philadelphia, we projected Mathews for 32 rushes, 143 yards and 0.9 touchdowns this season. You can expect similar results from him wherever he lands.
