Quarterback G.J. Kinne had a good preseason for the Eagles, but there simply wasn’t a place to put him on the 53-man roster.

Kinne was among the first players cut in Philadelphia, according to Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com.

With Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley entrenched in front of him, Kinne needed someone to get injured or falter, and no one did.

Kinne posed a 130.7 passer rating in the preseason, although that was compiled against of other guys who are about to become unemployed. They might still sign him to the practice squad, as he has eligibility there.

Offensive lineman Josh Andrews has also been cut, per a tweet from his agent.
