Eagles make first round of cuts; acquire guard Reggie Wells

Today, the Eagles made their first round of cuts, including the follwing players:
Running Back J.J. Arrington (#33)
Running Back Martell Mallett (#29)
Wide Receiver Dobson Collins (#11)
Defensive End Pannel Egboh (#63)
Tight End Nate Lawrie (#83)
Tackle Jeraill McCuller (#73)
Cornerback David Pender (#37)
Cornerback Geoff Pope (#30)
Defensive Tackle Boo Robinson (#66)
Safety Anthony Scirrotto (#47)

In addition, the Eagles will recieve a 6th round draft pick from the Broncos in 2012 as compensation for releasing Arrington, who was acquired by the Eagles in a trade with Denver earlier this summer. Today, the Eagles also completed a trade with the Arizona Cardinals that will bring guard Reggie Wells to Philadelphia in exchange for an undisclosed pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Defensive End Victor Abiamiri, who underwent microfracture knee surgery in the offseason, was also placed on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, meaning he is ineligable to play in the Eagles' first six games this season. After that, the Eagles have the option to either activate him or place him on the Injured Reserve for the remainder of the season.

The remainder of the Eagles' cuts must be completed by the 6 p.m. deadline Saturday night, meaning 12 more players will be cut to make room for the final 53 man roster.
