Eagles Surrender 21-Point Lead to Cowboys; Rookie S Andrew Mukuba Leaves in Boot After Late Injury

Philadelphia now must sort out a battered secondary on a short week.

Overview

  • Dallas won 24-21 on Brandon Aubrey’s 42-yard field goal as time expired after Philadelphia led by three touchdowns.
  • Rookie safety Andrew Mukuba was injured in the final minute, was carted to the locker room, and later was seen with a boot on his right foot and using crutches.
  • The Eagles have not disclosed the nature of Mukuba’s injury or a recovery timeline.
  • Starting safety Reed Blankenship exited with an unspecified issue and cornerback Adoree' Jackson entered the concussion protocol.
  • With a Black Friday game against the Bears approaching, reports indicate Sydney Brown would likely move up the depth chart if Mukuba cannot play, and Mukuba’s season line includes 43 tackles and two interceptions as the 64th overall pick.
