Eagles Rookie Cooper DeJean to Miss Start of Training Camp Due to Hamstring Injury
The second-round pick is expected to be sidelined for three weeks, impacting his chances to compete for a starting role.
- Cooper DeJean, a versatile defensive back, was placed on the non-football injury list.
- DeJean's injury occurred during offseason training and is unrelated to his previous leg injury.
- He was drafted to bolster the Eagles' secondary alongside first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell.
- DeJean's absence will give veterans Avonte Maddox and Tyler Hall more opportunities in training camp.
- The rookie's ability to play multiple positions was seen as a key asset for the Eagles' defense.
