Eagles Expected To Place Rookie DB Cooper DeJean On NFI List
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Eagles are expected to place second-round DB Cooper DeJean on the active/non-football injury list for the start of training camp.According to Fowler, DeJean is expected to miss three weeks with a hamstring injury. The Eagles are reportedly confident in a quick recovery for DeJean. DeJean, 21, was a two-time first-team All-Big-10 selection in his sophomore and junior seasons. He was a unanimous All-American his junior year at Iowa. He also set the single-season record at Iowa for interceptions returned for a touchdown at three. The No. 40 overall pick is projected to sign a four-year, $9,283,618 contract that includes a $3,571,720 signing bonus and will carry a $1,687,930 cap figure for the 2024 season. Throughout his three-year career at Iowa, DeJean appeared in 30 games for the Hawkeyes and recorded 120 total tackles, including five tackles for loss to go along with 20 passes defended, seven interceptions, and three touchdowns.

Report: Eagles CB Cooper DeJean (hamstring) out 3 weeks
Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean will be sidelined for approximately the first three weeks of training camp due to a hamstring injury, ESPN reported Tuesday. DeJean reportedly sustained the injury during offseason training workouts. DeJean, 21, was a second-round draft pick (40th overall) in April's NFL draft after being projected to be selected in the first round. The Eagles made a trade with the Washington Commanders to move up to select DeJean. Last season, DeJean was a first-team All-American at Iowa despite being limited to 10 games after sustaining a broken fibula in practice in mid-November. DeJean had 41 tackles and two interceptions and also returned a punt for a touchdown while averaging 11.5 yards per return. Overall, DeJean had seven interceptions in 30 college games over three seasons at Iowa and returned three of the picks for touchdowns. DeJean is expected to be an immediate contributor for the Eagles, who needed to upgrade the secondary after ranking next to last in pass defense (252.7 yards per game) and passing touchdowns allowed (35) last season. Philadelphia also used a first-round pick on a cornerback, choosing Quinyon Mitchell of Toledo with the 22th overall choice. --Field Level Media
