With Akeem Jordan expected to be out for the second consecutive week, the Eagles are once again considering a shift in their linebacker unit, and after taking the majority of snaps in practice, Mays could become the fifth player to start in the middle this season.Mays has only been active in four games so far this year, but actual...

Probably the most worrisome loss is that of weakside linebacker Akeem Jordan, who suffered a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise.
