Eagles Young RB Requests Release Just One Month After Signing to Care for Ill Parents
The Philadelphia Eagles have officially granted a release to their young running back, just one month after he joined the team’s practice squad.
The decision came following a heartfelt request from the player, who asked to step away from football to take care of his parents battling serious health issues.
According to team sources, the 23-year-old running back had signed with the Eagles on August 29, 2025, and was officially released on October 14 at his own request. The team reportedly showed full support for his decision, emphasizing that family must always come first.
In his emotional message, Audric Estimé expressed deep gratitude to the organization and fans:
“Thank you, Philadelphia Eagles, for the incredible opportunity to chase my NFL dream. But right now, my parents—who sacrificed everything for me—are fighting illness. My father has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and my mother is recovering from breast cancer surgery. I need to be with them. The NFL is a dream, but family is my foundation. Thank you, Eagles Nation, and I hope to be back soon.”
Estimé’s statement has touched thousands across social media, as fans flooded comment sections with messages of support and admiration for his decision.
For a young player who had just begun his professional journey, the choice to prioritize family over career shows a level of maturity and love that resonated deeply with the Eagles community. The organization made it clear that the door remains open for him whenever he’s ready to return.
Sometimes, the strongest plays aren’t made on the field — they’re made at home.
