White didn't travel with the team when the club opened the season in Brazil due to an ankle issue and wasn't made active for the team's next two games before missing their Week 4 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to 'personal reasons.'Per ESPN, the Eagles and White agreed to a deal that would see the club release him before next month's trade deadline to avoid him being eligible for waivers and the team could save some money before needing to pay him additional cash.Following a historic three-year collegiate career at LSU, which included winning the Butkus Award for the nation's best linebacker as well as being named an All-American on two occasions in addition to back-to-back All-SEC honors, White was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old spent the first five seasons of his career with the Bucs, earning 2019 NFL All-Rookie team honors before being named to the league's All-Pro second team in 2020, as well as being a Pro Bowl selection in 2021.Injuries plagued White's 2023 campaign, which made Tampa more comfortable allowing him to walk in free agency, this past off-season.Meanwhile for the Eagles, 2024 started off much-better than 2023 ended. Nick Siranni's squad knocked off the Green Bay Packers in Brazil to kick-off their campaign. However, Philadelphia has struggled since their opening weekend victory, as they dropped a 22-21 heartbreaker to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 before squeaking by the New Orleans Saints without scoring a touchdown in Week 3. The Eagles had their worst game of the season in Week 4 as they were drubbed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 33-16 before their bye week, las week. The Week 4 loss to Tampa was concerning for several reasons, perhaps most notably that it was a revenge game as Baker Mayfield and co. ended the Eagles 2023 season to the tune of a 32-9 thrashing in last season's NFC Wild Card round showdown.Following a much-needed bye week, the Eagles look to get back on track in Week 6 when they host the equally-as struggling Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon (1:00 pm EDT/10:00 am PDT) on FOX.</div></body>
