Eagles Cut RB Moats

Friday, August 29, 2008

Philadelphia, PA -- (Sports Network) - Running back Ryan Moats was one of eight players released by the Philadelphia Eagles Friday.

A third-round pick out of Louisiana Tech in 2005, Moats enjoyed his greatest success as a rookie when he tied for the team lead in rushing touchdowns with three and was second in rushing yards with 278 in just seven games.

Last season, Moats suffered a season-ending ankle injury that forced him to spend the year on injured reserve.

The Eagles also released wide receivers Bam Childress and Jamal Jones, cornerbacks Therrian Fontenot and Nick Graham, safety Marcus Paschal, guard Stefan Rodgers and linebacker Pago Togafau.

With the moves, the Eagles roster now stands at 67. All NFL teams must reach the roster limit of 53 by 6 p.m. (et) Saturday.
