PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- The Philadelphia Eagles have released backup quarterback A.J. Feeley, the team said Sunday.

Feeley had been with the Eagles since 2006 and also played for them from 2001 to 2003. In between, he was a member of the Miami Dolphins.

Feeley has completed 55.9 percent of his passes, totaling 4, 079 yards with 27 touchdowns and 29 interceptions, in 23 NFL games

Dixon, a rookie, originally signed with Washington this year.
