The NFL offseason is officially underway, and the Eagles have made their first move, releasing backup center Nick Gates, Glenn Erby of Eagles Wire reports..

Gates suited up in nine games for the Eagles this season, starting the regular-season finale at center. Gates suffered a groin injury in the prep for the Super Bowl and was placed on Injured Reserve.

The Eagles signed Gates during Training Camp as a veteran insurance option with 41 career regular-season and playoff starts across four of the five starting offensive line positions before arriving in Philadelphia.

He entered the league as a rookie free agent with the Giants in 2018 and joined the Commanders for the 2023 campaign.
