Overview
- DeJean was at Wednesday’s practice but did not take part on the field and wore a sleeve on his left leg.
- Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said DeJean got “dinged up” in the opener and he appeared to grab his rib or midsection during the game against Washington.
- The team has not released an official diagnosis and the Eagles’ formal injury report will determine whether he is listed as limited or a nonparticipant for Sunday’s game at Tennessee.
- DeJean is a key versatile defender who can play outside corner, slot and near the line, so any limitation would change how Fangio disguises coverages and matches up with Titans receivers and tight ends.
- If DeJean is limited or unavailable, the most likely immediate adjustments are more nickel snaps for Michael Carter II and extra safety work for Marcus Epps, with staff and reporters closely watching practice participation for further clues.
