Cooper DeJean Set for Eagles Preseason Debut

News summary

Cooper DeJean, the Philadelphia Eagles' rookie defensive back, is set to make his preseason debut against the Minnesota Vikings following a recovery from a hamstring injury. Drafted as the No. 40 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, DeJean's initial season was hampered by a fractured fibula sustained in college, which limited his participation in training camp. After being activated off the non-football injury list on August 13, he has been involved in full practices and is expected to play multiple defensive positions. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni emphasized the importance of this final preseason game to assess DeJean's fit within the defense before the official season begins. Meanwhile, veteran Lane Johnson, entering his 12th year with the team, hinted he may retire within a few years, reflecting on the physical toll of the sport. DeJean's debut comes as the Eagles aim to bolster their defensive capabilities for the upcoming season.
