The Philadelphia Eagles gave a chance to a talented young running back.
But only about a month later, they've decided it wasn't going to work out.
Audric Estime was cut by the Denver Broncos before the season, and he signed with the Eagles' practice squad.
But on Tuesday, the Eagles released Estime, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Estime is a 22-year old running back who was drafted in 2024 in the fifth round out of Notre Dame.
He didn't even make it to the second season of his rookie contract with the Broncos.

As a rookie, Estime ran 76 times for 310 yards (4.1 ypc) with two touchdowns, adding five catches for 27 yards.
Estime didn't get into a game after his signing with the Eagles, remaining down on the practice squad.
The Eagles have been in solid shape for RB depth this season. Behind Saquon Barkley are both A.J. Dillon and Will Shipley, so it would've been tough for Estime to have any real breakthrough unless there was an injury.
Given the fact that Estime was a popular late-round draft target just a year ago, it seems safe to expect him to get a chance on another team's practice squad.
But the Eagles have evidently decided he wasn't worth keeping around.
