Devin White had an interesting afternoon watching the Eagles-Bucs game
Eagles linebacker Devin White has been inactive as a healthy scratch for the past couple weeks with Nakobe Dean and Zack Baun earning starting jobs over him. White didnāt even travel to Tampa in Week 4, and missed going up against his former team, the Buccaneers ā but, that didnāt spare him from the dramatic outing.
It all started with an (allegedly) errant display of appreciation for his former teammate Lavonte David making a play against his current team.
He’s since deleted it, but Devin White — inactive today — retweeted a tweet about Lavonte David’s forced fumble against his own team.

White quickly took to social media ā as one does in this situation ā to explain that it was a mistake, but heāll always show love to someone heās close to.

Surely, though, that wonāt be enough to quiet the outside noise about the situation. White has been professional throughout the whole process of being benched, but itās also naive to think heās not upset about it.
Even if he is on his way out of Philly sooner rather than later, itās still not a good look. Although, to be fair, heās definitely not the only Eagles player to support opponents, but given the whole ordeal itās going to draw attention.
As if Whiteās afternoon wasnāt interesting enough, he also got a message about having to report for a drug test in Tampaā¦ a game he didnāt travel to or play in. Good job, NFL.
