Cornerback is arguably the weakest position on the Philadelphia Eagles roster, but help may be on the way.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson admitted the team is looking for outside help at cornerback after the release of Dwayne Gratz Sunday. The Eagles currently have 89 players on their roster, one below the maximum 90-man limit.

"It's a position that we continue to look, you know, even outside, as we do every position," Pederson said. "We're always going to try to bring in guys to create as much competition at that spot. Obviously, it's a spot that we want to keep our eye on throughout camp."

The Eagles are young at the cornerback position, with only Jalen Mills (headed into his second year) penciled in as a starter. Patrick Robinson and Rasul Douglas are the front runners for the other starting cornerback spot, with Aaron Grymes and C.J. Smith not far behind.

Robinson is the veteran of the group. He has 10 interceptions in 81 career games (49 starts) with the New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers, and Indianapolis Colts.

As for Douglas, Grymes, and Smith? The trio have combined for just one defensive snap in 2016 (Douglas was playing at West Virginia).

They'll get their opportunity to impress the Eagles coaching staff until a veteran signs in the meantime.

"It gives a couple of our younger guys, Jalen Mills and guys like that, a chance to really get in here and get valuable reps," Pederson said.
