Nursing shoulder injury
Mukuba did not participate in Monday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Mukuba may have picked up the injury during Saturday's practice, when he collided with Danny Gray in team drills. The severity of the injury hasn't been announced, but Mukuba will be limited to sideline work until he's fully recovered from his injury, which could impact his availability for the Eagles' preseason opener against the Bengals on Aug. 7. The rookie second-rounder is projected to start at safety alongside Reed Blankenship, so Mukuba's absence opens the door for Tristin McCollum and Sydney Brown to get more reps with the first-team defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have versatile role
Mukuba could work as both a safety and slot cornerback during his rookie season, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles selected Mukuba in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he was expected to immediately serve as the team's free safety. That could remain his primary role, but the team pushed Cooper DeJean to an outside corner spot during offseason practices, and in turn used Mukuba in the slot in DeJean's place. It's unclear if this experiment will carry over into training camp, but the rookie could be in for a versatile role depending on DeJean's usage.
