Eagles release Andy Dalton after backup QB demotion

Philadelphia will also be without Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith, both sidelined by hamstring injuries, for the London game against the Jaguars.

Andy Dalton is out in Philadelphia. The Eagles have released the veteran quarterback, who had already lost his job as the team's QB2 following a costly interception against the Bears.

The move caps a turbulent week for the Eagles. Along with cutting Dalton, Philadelphia will head to London to face the Jaguars without Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith, both sidelined by hamstring injuries.

Dalton's release leaves the Eagles needing to sort out their quarterback depth chart on short notice, with the London trip adding logistical pressure to an already thin roster. The skill-position absences of Barkley and Smith only compound the uncertainty heading into the matchup with Jacksonville.

No further details on Dalton's next steps or the Eagles' quarterback plans beyond the demotion and release have been reported.
