Eagles GM Howie Roseman said CFL product Philip Hunt, who had 3 sacks in the preseason, earned his roster spot.

That meant Te'o-Nesheim, the team's third-round pick in 2010, had to go.

"This is a guy that every game he played was making an impact rushing the passer," Roseman said of Hunt. "It was no sleight on Te'o but more about the camp Philip Hunt had."
