Eagles Sign Former Ohio State and Bengals LB Chris Worley
With teams across the NFL looking to finalize their 53-man rosters ahead of Week 1 in early September, some late shuffling is certainly expected.
And for the Philadelphia Eagles, the signing of quarterback Josh McCown wasn't the only move they'd be making this month. On Monday morning, it was announced the team has agreed to terms with young linebacker Chris Worley.
After going undrafted last year, Worley signed a UDFA deal with the Bengals. He saw limited action with Cincinnati, appearing in two games and recording only one tackle.
Late last month, the Bengals decided to waive the 6-2, 240-pounder, opening the door for Philly to pick him up on Monday morning.
While Worley wasn't a standout for the Bengals in his lone year with the team, he won't be expected to step in and be a star for this Philly defense. They've likely brought him in to be a rotational piece and give their starters rest when needed.
After his big-time career with the Buckeyes, Worley will now look to get his NFL Career back on track in the City of Brotherly Love.
