The Eagles will be without starting safety and team captain Rodney McLeod after Doug Pederson confirmed he tore his ACL against the Saints.
Doug Pederson: Rodney McLeod tore his ACL and is done for the season. #Eagles

McLeod had an MRI Monday morning after suffering a non-contact left knee injury five minutes into the third quarter and did not return to the game along with Darius Slay.
Similar to Malcolm Jenkins, McLeod has logged 1,948 Eagles defensive snaps over the last two years and was the only player on either side of the ball who hadn’t missed a snap this year.
The Eagles could also be without Avonte Maddox (knee) and Darius Slay (concussion) after already being without Cre’Von LeBlanc and Craig James, who are on Injured Reserve.
The injuries leave Philadelphia with three available safties for the Week 15 matchup with the Cardinals: Jalen Mills, rookie K’Von Wallace, and special teamer Marcus Epps.
