With Henry To'oTo'o (concussion) and Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) both inactive, White will start at outside linebacker against the Colts on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. After spending the first five years of his NFL career with the Buccaneers, White signed a one-year contract with the Eagles in March. However, he was a healthy scratch over Philadelphia's first four games of the regular season, and the 2019 first-round pick was released Oct. 8. White signed with the Texans on Wednesday, and he'll see action immediately with both To'oTo'o and Al-Shaair sidelined for Sunday's game. Across 14 regular-season games with Tampa Bay in 2023, White logged 83 tackles (49 solo), including 2.5 sacks, six passes defended and two interceptions.

White was released by the Eagles on Tuesday. White was expected to land a starting role in Philadelphia when he joined the team on a one-year contract in March. However, things didn't go as planned for the LSU product, who never ended up suiting up for the Eagles. An ankle injury derailed his start to the season, but even once healthy the 26-year-old was inactive as a healthy scratch and most recently missed the team's last game for personal reasons. It's unclear where White will go from here and if the personal reasons for his latest absence are due to a falling out with the team or something that could keep him away from the football field for a while.

White (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers. White will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, as the first-year Eagle was held out of the Philadelphia's Week 1 win over the Packers with an ankle injury and has been a healthy scratch in the past two contests. Expect Jeremiah Trotter to serve as the Eagles' top rotational inside linebacker in White's stead.

White (ankle) didn't travel with the Eagles to Brazil and has been ruled out for Friday's season opener versus the Packers. After a five-year run with Tampa Bay, the 2019 first-round pick joined the Eagles on a one-year contract in the offseason and was projected to serve as a starter at inside linebacker. His Philadelphia debut will have to wait at least one week, however, as White didn't make the trip to Brazil after he was limited in practice Tuesday due to the injury. Per Ashlyn Sullivan of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Nakobe Dean is the most likely candidate to start alongside Zack Baun at inside linebacker sans White.

The Eagles agreed to terms with White on a one-year contract worth up to $7.5 million on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 26-year-old was the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Bucs and spent the first five seasons of his career in Tampa Bay, winning a Super Bowl and being named to one Pro Bowl. White played in 14 regular-season games in 2023, finishing with 83 tackles (49 solo), six pass breakups, 2.5 sacks and two interceptions. He brings much-needed playmaking ability to Philly's linebacker corps.
