  • Eagles' Cooper DeJean: Active in win

    DeJean recorded six tackles (four solo) and two pass breakups in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams. The slot cornerback matched his season highs in both categories. DeJean also played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth time in seven games since entering the starting lineup for Philadelphia's Week 6 matchup with Cleveland. The 2024 second-round pick has 30 tackles (22 solo), including 0.5 sacks, five passes defensed and a fumble recovery in his rookie campaign.

  • Eagles' Cooper DeJean: Taking over as starting nickle

    DeJean is set to start for Avonte Maddox as the Eagles' nickel corner Sunday against the Browns, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports. The Eagles' defense hasn't lived up to expectations early this season, and some changes have ensued. In addition to Devin White being released, DeJean will now start as the team's slot corner. DeJean has played only seven defensive snaps so far in his rookie season, so he could have some growing pains early on.

  • Eagles' Cooper DeJean: Should suit up for finale

    DeJean (hamstring) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Vikings, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. DeJean had his college career end last November due to a fractured fibula, then sustained a hamstring injury during offseason training, leading to a slow-building return to action for the 21-year-old.

  • Eagles' Cooper DeJean: Progresses to individual drills

    DeJean (hamstring) began participating in individual drills during Tuesday's practice session, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. DeJean told reporters after practice Tuesday that he felt good after his drills, and he is aiming to play in the Eagles' preseason finale against the Vikings on Aug. 24, per Kubena. DeJean started training camp on the NFI list due to a hamstring strain he sustained during offseason practice, and if he were able to suit up against Minnesota, it would likely only be for one or two defensive series. The rookie second-round pick is expected to be utilized across multiple positions on the Eagles' defense, which ranked 26th in the league last season in yards allowed per game (356.1).

  • Eagles' Cooper DeJean: Embracing versatility

    DeJean is being exposed to more than one position in the offseason, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. Kubena further reported that Eagles pass game coordinator Christian Parker said DeJean "can handle it mentally" and might "have a home" by training camp. The 2023 All-American at Iowa played cornerback, safety and a hybrid linebacker/defensive back role during his college career.

  • Eagles' Cooper DeJean: Philadelphia-bound in second round

    The Eagles selected DeJean in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 40th overall. DeJean was widely viewed as a viable first-round pick after an impressive Iowa career, so if his draft fall was unwarranted, then this could prove a steal for the Eagles. Philadelphia went into the draft with major concerns at cornerback, but between the selections of DeJean and first-round corner Quinyon Mitchell those worries are basically gone now. Mitchell is mostly a boundary corner, whereas DeJean (6-foot-1, 202 pounds) is more of a safety tweener who figures to hold a greater slot presence than on the outside. In addition to immediately competing for snaps in the slot and at safety, DeJean might get some punt-return work after returning one punt and three interceptions for touchdowns in college.
