The Eagles announced on Friday that the team has waived wide receiver Hollywood Brown and tackle Fred Johnson.

After Tuesday's trade deadline, all players – including vested veterans like Brown and Johnson – are subject to waivers through the postseason.

The Eagles have four open spots on the 53-man active roster after waiving Brown and Johnson. Earlier this week, the Eagles waived running back Jaydon Blue and traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars.

WR Hollywood Brown

The former first-round pick signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in the offseason after three years with Baltimore, two in Arizona, and the last two with Kansas City.

In four games, one start, Hollywood Brown caught five passes for 63 yards while playing 21 percent of the offensive snaps this season.

T Fred Johnson

A member of the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX Championship team, Fred Johnson played in seven games this season, primarily on special teams. Since arriving in Philadelphia in 2023, Johnson suited up in 58 regular-season and six playoff contests, starting 15 of those games.

Johnson has served as the first tackle off the bench, starting six games in the Super Bowl LIX season and another eight in 2025 when he was on the field for a career-high 626 offensive snaps (59 percent).
