The Eagles released Jeffery on Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffery's release had been set in stone for quite some time, given that he carried a $14 million salary cap hit for 2021. The 31-year-old is coming off the worst season of his career, having logged just six catches for 115 yards and a touchdown across seven games, all while battling injuries and suboptimal quarterback play. He'll now have to contend with a strong receiver class in free agency, perhaps foreshadowing a situation wherein Jeffery is forced to settle for a prove-it deal at his next landing spot.

The Eagles plan to release Jeffery when the new league year begins March 17, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffery's imminent release doesn't come as any sort of surprise, given that the soon-to-be 32-year-old carries a $14 million cap hit for 2021. He only suited up for seven games during an injury-riddled 2020 campaign, securing six catches for 115 yards and one touchdown, the lowest totals of his career. Jeffery hasn't put up a 1,000-yard season since 2014, and he's now logged back-to-back years with under 500 receiving yards. With plenty of big-name wideouts scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, Jeffrey seems unlikely to encounter a bidding war for his services.

Jeffery (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffery's season debut was delayed until Week 10 due to a combination of offseason foot surgery and a calf issue that he sustained while working his way back to full health. Overall, he managed to haul in just six of 13 targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in seven appearances during his age-30 season. Jeffery turns 31 in February, but because he's owed $18.5 million in 2021, it'll be difficult for the Eagles to move on.

Jeffery caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffery has seen a mere one target in three of his past four games. His 22 yards in this one represent his second-highest total of the season.

Jeffery caught two of three targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffery had receptions of 24 and 39 yards on the day. He also drew multiple pass interference penalties on Patrick Peterson totaling 40 yards that helped on the drive that tied the score at 26. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old has just five catches on 12 targets through six games this season.

Jeffery caught his only target for a 15-yard touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

With Carson Wentz replaced by rookie Jalen Hurts under center, Jeffery looked like he might be headed for a big game when he produced the game's first points with his first TD of the season early in the second quarter. Unfortunately for the veteran wideout, Hurts didn't look his way again and wound up completing only 17 passes in total on the afternoon. Jeffery has only three catches for 30 yards on nine targets in five games since rejoining the lineup, and it doesn't appear as though the switch at QB will improve his outlook heading into Week 15's road clash with the Cardinals.

Jeffery (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffrey was limited in practice Wednesday, when coach Doug Pederson declined to commit to his availability for Week 14, but barring any setbacks it looks like the veteran wideout is on track to play. His involvement in Philadelphia's offense has been trending upward, but with only two catches over the last four weeks, it'll be difficult to trust Jeffery for fantasy purposes during Sunday's home matchup against the Saints.

Jeffery (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffery handled a season-high 56 percent of offensive snaps during last weekend's loss to the Packers, but he failed to secure his lone target. Coach Doug Pederson said that the veteran wideout is "sore" and refused to commit to his Week 14 availability, per, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal, so for the time being Jeffrey's status looks truly murky. If he does suit up, he'll face the challenge of quickly establishing chemistry with rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Jeffery could not come down with his lone target in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffery drew the start but didn't see a pass thrown his way until the fourth quarter with Jalen Hurts under center. The nine-year vet did see another target but was flagged for pass interference on the play. He has just two catches on eight targets this season.

Jeffery caught two of four targets for 15 yards during Monday's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Though still a modest output from the one-time Pro Bowl wideout, it is encouraging at least that he logged a season-high 35 offensive snaps while finally breaking into the reception column with his Monday night effort. Jeffery attracted just three targets over 23 offensive snaps Weeks 10 and 11, in what represented his first two games back from foot and calf injuries that held him out earlier in the season. His involvement is seemingly on the upswing as the struggling Eagles passing offense readies for a road trip to Green Bay on Sunday afternoon.
