Bradberry was released by the Eagles on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry missed the entirety of the 2024 season due to a lower-leg injury, but the announcement of his release wasn't accompanied by an injury designation on the NFL's official transaction wire, suggesting that the 31-year-old is presumably healthy ahead of OTAs. The 2016 second-rounder should at minimum be a coveted depth piece for another team given his ability to play multiple positions in the secondary. When he last saw regular-season action, Bradberry recorded 54 tackles and a pick in 16 contests with the Eagles in 2023.

Philadelphia plans to release Bradberry (lower leg) when the new league year starts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry was placed on the Eagles' injured reserve list with a lower-leg injury prior to the start of the 2024 regular season, and he was unable to contribute to their championship campaign. After Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean proved more than capable in the defensive backfield during their rookie seasons, Philadelphia is opting to move on from the veteran. Bradberry will turn 32 in August.

Bradberry (lower leg) was placed on the Eagles' injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry sustained the injury during Wednesday's practice, and the initial timeline for his return is 6-to-8 weeks. The 2016 second-round pick will be forced to sit for the first four games of the regular season, and with the Eagles on a bye for Week 5, the earliest he could return would be for Week 6 against the Browns on Oct. 13. When he returns, Bradberry is expected to be utilized in multiple positions across the Eagles' secondary, primarily serving at safety.

Bradberry (lower leg) suffered an injury involving a tendon during Wednesday's practice and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry's injury reportedly won't require surgery, but it will almost certainly lead to a stint on IR. That would rule out Bradberry, who converted to safety this offseason, out for Philadelphia's first four games of the year, which aligns with the recovery timetable offered by Rapoport. The Eagles have a Week 5 bye, and Bradberry's earliest recovery timeline could leave him available to face the Browns on Oct. 13 in Week 6.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters Thursday that Bradberry will be moving to safety in 2024, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being spotted working with the second-team defense at safety Wednesday, Fangio made Bradberry's positional change official when talking to reporters Thursday. Fangio also noted that Bradberry could still play some corner for Philadelphia as well. If the positional switch works out for the Eagles, Bradberry could serve as a versatile defensive back and even get a starting nod in the team's secondary. Conversely, the 30-year-old could be in jeopardy of missing Philadelphia's 53-man roster if the switch doesn't work out.

Bradberry (undisclosed) was spotted working with the second-team defense at safety Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry had been dealing with some sort of injury earlier in the offseason, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. After posting an All-Pro campaign in 2022, Bradberry's play substantially declined the following season, as he allowed 590 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in primary coverage across 16 regular-season games. Expect the 30-year-old to serve as a rotational defensive back in Philadelphia's secondary in 2024.

Bradberry was absent from the Eagles' minicamp session Thursday after sustaining an undisclosed injury Tuesday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The ninth-year veteran is dealing with an unspecified injury that's kept him out of mandatory minicamp, but there's no word on the severity as of now. Bradberry had a down year after receiving All-Pro honors in 2022, and he's expected to remain an integral part of Philadelphia's secondary once he moves past this issue.

Bradberry has been seeing work at safety during practices this week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry has also been seeing work inside, as head coach Nick Sirianni is looking to take advantage of his versatility. With rookie Quinyon Mitchell penciled in as a starter at corner opposite Darius Slay (back), the veteran Bradberry may lose his starting gig in the Eagles' secondary.

Bradberry finished the year with 54 tackles and just one interception in 16 regular-season games.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry had managed at least three picks in each of the previous four seasons, but his Week 12 interception against the Bills was all he managed this season. He did account for one more turnover, recovering a fumble in Week 3 against the Bucs.

Bradberry recorded three tackles (three solo) and five passes defensed including an interception in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win versus the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Bradberry played a season-high 92 defensive snaps in Week 12, but his best one came early in the fourth quarter when he picked off a Josh Allen pass on Buffalo's half of the field, setting up a late go-ahead touchdown toss. He'll have tough assignments again in Week 13 in Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
