A key piece of the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl run is back on the team this year. The Eagles announced on Sunday that they have signed safety Corey Graham to a one year deal. This move comes just ahead of Sunday night's open practice at Lincon Finacial Field, the first of it's kind this training camp. It's unclear if Graham will be suited up for the practice.
Graham was first signed by the Eagles before last season and proved to be a valuable piece of the safety rotation as they won the Super Bowl. Graham played on 64 snaps during Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. Graham will probably serve in the same role this year playing as the third safety but will still see the field plenty as the Eagles like to rotate their secondary.
Graham was originally selected in the fifth round by the Chicago Bears in the 2007 draft and spent the first five years in the Windy City. Graham then went to Baltimore for three years and the Buffalo Bills for two before signing with the Eagles.
Although his stats aren't flashy by any means he fits well in the Eagles system and can be relied on heavily. If the Eagles do suffer secondary injuries they should feel comfortable with Graham stepping up and taking a bigger role.
The Eagles also made a few more roster transactions on Sunday. They also added tight end Gannon Sinclair, waived safety Ryan Neal, and waived/injured tight end Adam Zaruba with an injury settlement.
