Eagles officially waive Marquise Brown and Fred Johnson
The Eagles officially waived wide receiver Marquise Brown and offensive tackle Fred Johnson, continuing their roster changes during the bye week.
The Philadelphia Eagles formally waived wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and offensive tackle Fred Johnson on Friday, as their roster changes continue during a bye week. Brown was signed to a one-year contract in March and Johnson returned on a one-year deal later that month. Philadelphia's roster adjustments come as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.
Marquise Brown's brief tenure with the team ended after he and the Eagles agreed a separation would benefit both parties. Brown, who played for Kansas City last season with 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns, struggled to establish a role with Philadelphia, playing just 35 offensive snaps in their last game against the New York Giants.
The Eagles now face the challenge of filling the void left by Brown's departure and must adapt their offensive plans in the absence of Fred Johnson, who leaves the team as a valuable backup for their starting tackles.
