McPhearson played 31 snaps before exiting the game after breaking up a passing play, and he was having a solid performance, logging six tackles and one pass defended.

The 25-year-old McPhearson, a fourth-round draft pick out of Texas Tech in 2021, had been competing for roles at both outside and nickel corner entering 2023, filling in for injured slot starter Avonte Maddox during training camp.

He was also one of Philadelphia’s core special teams players, ranking among the club’s leading kick-coverage tacklers during the Eagles’ run to Super Bowl LVII.

He was a favorite to make the 53-man roster. This is a tough blow for him and his career.
