Eagles Release WR Huff
The Philadelphia Eagles released wide receiver Josh Huff this morning two days after he was arrested for possession of a gun and marijuana after being stopped for a speeding violation. Huff, who was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, answered questions about the alleged incident Wednesday. Huff asked reporters, “What professional athlete don’t have a gun?” This season Huff only had 13 receptions for 72 yards and one score, and he also had another score on a kick return against Minnesota. Huff has been somewhat of a disappointment this season after there was a hope that he would have a breakout season in his third season with the Birds.
Howie Roseman spoke today regarding the situation and did a good job of protecting Huff by not getting into the specifics of the incident, stating that they did what was best for the team and wishing Huff all the best. He also stated that the roster sport is not filled yet but they will fill it by Sunday. An option the Eagles are exploring is rookie WR Bryce Treggs who was a participant in today’s practice. Treggs is expected to be active this weekend in place of Huff. An unfortunate situation for Huff may turn into a career opportunity for Treggs.
