Eagles Keep Andrew Mukuba Active After Midweek Knee Question mark

The team used versatile veterans and a practice‑squad elevation to protect a thin safety group and preserve defensive continuity.

Overview

  • Andrew Mukuba was listed questionable this week with a knee issue sustained in practice but was made active for the Week 2 game.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni said Michael Carter II had prepared to slide into the safety role and expressed strong confidence in Carter’s versatility.
  • Philadelphia temporarily elevated undrafted rookie Maximus Pulley from the practice squad to provide emergency depth and special‑teams help.
  • The Eagles entered the game light at true safety after losing Andre’ Sam in preseason, with Jonathan Greenard ruled out and Jalen Carter playing through a wrist issue.
  • The short‑term moves preserved game‑day stability but highlight lingering roster risk at safety and the need for depth planning later in the season.
