Philadelphia Eagles waive DT Bruce Hector and DB Prince Smith

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to reduce their roster and after re-signing defensive end Vinny Curry, the team just announced that they’ve waived defensive tackle Bruce Hector and defensive back Prince Smith.

Hector played college football at South Florida and signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2018.

Hector spent the 2019 season on and off the practice squad and the Eagles active roster.

Signed as an undrafted free agent in May, Smith was a four-year starter for New Hampshire and was selected as the Colonial Athletic Association’s Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2016.

Over his final three seasons, Smith started 29 games and was named the team’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player following his senior season in which he finished third on the team in tackles (64), second in interceptions (three) and second in pass breakups (seven).
