BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The John Gill era is over.

The Eagles signed wide receiver Brian Hernandez, who was last with the Redskins, and released Gill, who the team signed on Monday.

Gill, a defensive tackle, played in Thursday's preseason game against the Steelers.

The 6-foot-0, 183-pound Hernandez was signed by Washington in May as an undrafted rookie. He was released on July 27.

Hernandez, 28, last played in the UFL.

Nuggett, don't be so dismissive of King Dunlap. Dunlap has had many productive games for the Eagles and can hold his own out of that edge against speed rushers. He's not as mobile as we have become accustomed in watching Peters, but Dunlap is a nice insurance policy at Tackle.

Against the Steelers, the entire line was horrible. The pressure that did get to Vick came straight up the middle from a D Tackle over Kelce.

I agree, Ryans was not impressive in the Middle in the least. There are still to many missed tackles, the ball carrier is running up over Eagles tacklers.
