PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Corey Graham

is ready to fill a starting role.The Philadelphia Eagles won’t have safety Rodney McLeod for Sunday’s game against Tennessee and a report says he’s going to miss the rest of the season following knee surgery on Thursday. Coach Doug Pederson is expected to update McLeod’s status on Friday.Graham has played 55 percent of the defensive snaps Youth DeSean Jackson Jerseys , so the 33-year-old is already a key part of the defense. He has started 66 games in his 12-year career.“I’m prepared and I’m ready to go,” Graham said after practice. “It really doesn’t change much. I’ll probably just play double the amount of plays now. But the way we do things, I’ll be in the same role.”McLeod missed only two games in his previous five seasons. Graham called him the “fix-it guy” in the secondary.“If something went wrong, he was back there to fix it DeSean Jackson Jerseys Stitched ,” Graham said. “It’s a tough loss. He’s one of our core guys. It’s hard to replace a guy like Rodney.”The Eagles rely on three safeties quite a bit in their defense. That’s why Graham has played more than half the snaps. It allows defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to use Malcolm Jenkins in a variety of ways, include nickel cornerback and linebacker, along with his usual safety spot.Deiondre’ Hall is the only other safety on the active roster and Tre Sullivan is on the practice squad. Backup cornerback Rasul Douglas has safety skills.“We cross-train a lot of guys,” Jenkins said. “We’re versatile. We have guys who can come in and play a role. I don’t know if we’ll hand over Rodney’s entire package to one guy. It might be sliced up.”NOTES: RB Jay Ajayi returned to practice after missing one game with a back injury and revealed he had suffered a small fracture. “It’s a pain tolerance thing Youth Vinny Curry Jerseys ,” Ajayi said. … WR Alshon Jeffery (illness) and RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) didn’t practice Thursday. The Eagles took wide receiver Nelson Agholor in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft, and last year they picked up his fifth-year option for 2019. But that doesn’t mean he’ll play for the Eagles this year.Agholor has a base salary of $9.387 million this season, but the Eagles can cut him and choose not to pay him a thing. And given that the Eagles are very short on cap space, that might be the best option.Another option is extending him on a long-term contract that reduces his cap hit in 2019 but gives him more money over the length of the contract. It remains to be seen just how big a deal the Eagles would give a receiver who has never managed even 800 receiving yards in a season in his four-year career Vinny Curry Jerseys Stitched , however.One way or another, NJ.com refers to it as “highly unlikely” that Agholor plays the 2019 season on that $9.387 million salary. The Eagles will either decide to extend him or move on.
