Cooper DeJean returns to Eagles practice ahead of joint session with Patriots

The Eagles have a familiar face returning to the field, as Cooper DeJean was spotted in full pads ahead of the joint practice session against the Patriots.

DeJean missed the first three weeks of practice but appears ready to start individual drills. He’ll work to potentially take the field for the preseason finale.

DeJean was activated off the Non-Football Injury List on Tuesday, and the Swiss army knife gives defensive coordinator Vic Fangio another elite defensive weapon. He’ll play in the slot and at outside cornerback.>
