Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - The Philadelphia Eagles released offensive lineman Shawn Andrews on Wednesday. "We appreciate the efforts and contributions of Shawn while he was in Philadelphia," said head coach Andy Reid. "We have, however, decided to move in another direction." The two-time Pro Bowl selection has played two games combined over the last two seasons due to a back injury and personal problems. Andrews, who underwent back surgery in the 2009 offseason, had a setback in training camp that forced him to miss the entire season. He was placed on injured reserve in September. Andrews, the 16th overall pick in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft, missed the entire 2008 training camp while battling depression but did play in the season opener that year. He suffered a herniated disc in the second game of the year and did not return to the field the rest of the season. Over six NFL seasons with the Eagles, Andrews has played in 50 games, starting all of them. |
