Linebacker Keenan Clayton and tight end Chase Ford will be released by the Eagles, according to a league source.
Clayton has played in 21 games over the last two seasons with the Eagles, posting 43 tackles and three passed defensed in that time.
Ford showed some promise in training camp as a pass-catching tight end. He had six receptions for 54 yards this preseason. The 6-6 rookie out of Miami could be a solid candidate for the practice squad.
