Eagles waive veteran with starting experience as roster competition heats up

The Eagles have waived defensive end Ta’Quon Graham, the team announced on Sunday.

Waiving Graham opens a spot on Philadelphia’s 90-man roster, so the Eagles will likely add another player soon.

Graham, who was buried low on the Eagles’ defensive line depth chart, was a long shot to make Philadelphia’s 53-man roster. He joined the Eagles’ practice squad last season and re-signed with the team in March, but with the Eagles having a deep defensive line unit, the chances of him making the roster was always steep.

Graham previously spent five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with 88 tackles and one sack in 51 games. He started 16 of those 51 appearances, carving out a decent career as a former fifth-round pick.

The Eagles will have tougher decisions to make later this summer on roster cutdown day. Letting go of Graham is just one of many moves that will be made over the next month.
