Linebacker for the Eagles After suffering an Achilles injury against the Ravens in preseason, Shaun Bradley will be out for the year.
In his third year of professional football, Shaun Bradley participated in 80% of the Eagles’ special teams plays.
Shaun Bradley, a linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been released.
According to ESPN’s TIm McManus, Bradley tore his Achilles while playing for the Eagles in their preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.
On Sunday, Bradley posted on social media that he had suffered a season-ending injury.
When asked on Instagram how he felt about the season ending, Bradley said, “Not how I wanted the season to end for me, but I believe that God truly does give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.” I’ve spent my entire life succeeding against the odds. I have no business being here. This is merely the next stage in my life’s narrative. I assure you that when I return, I will be stronger than before.
On Saturday, while on the field to attempt a punt, Bradley was injured in the third quarter of the Eagles’ 20-19 loss to the Ravens. He lay on the pitch in agony for quite some time before being removed off the pitch on a stretcher.
This autumn would be Bradley’s fourth season in the league.
The Eagles picked him up in the sixth round of the NFL draughts in 2020. Although he only made seven tackles all of the season, he was heavily involved in the Eagles’ special teams.
The 26-year-old Temple University graduate was about to enter the final season of the four years he had signed for $3.5 million with the Eagles.
After losing starting linebackers T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White to free agency, the Eagles have been trying to find suitable replacements this season.
Myles Jack and Zach Cunningham were signed, and the squad has already begun integrating Nakobe Dean, Nicholas Morrow, and Christian Elliss into the starting lineup.
Despite Bradley’s ability to force his way into the rotation with his skills, his chance to do so this year has passed.
The Ravens’ 24 game preseason winning streak was extended with a one-point victory over the Eagles on Saturday. Since the 2015 preseason, the Ravens have gone winless.
The Eagles, who lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs last year, will kick off their 2018 campaign on September 10 against the Patriots.
