Overview

• Mustapha returned to practice while remaining on the PUP list, giving the team 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster or place him on season-ending IR.
• He is eligible to be activated at any point during the window and could play as soon as Week 6 against the Buccaneers, depending on how the week unfolds.
• The second-year safety had January surgery to reattach an ACL graft in his right knee after a re-injury in the 2024 season finale.
• As a 2024 rookie, Mustapha started 12 games and posted 72 tackles, five passes defensed and one interception.
• His potential return puts pressure on current starters Marques Sigle and Jason Pinnock, with teammates such as Deommodore Lenoir praising Mustapha as a relentless, physical presence.
