That's because of Elijah Cooks, signed by the Eagles to the practice squad last January after spending his first two seasons with Jacksonville. Cooks, who has 3 receptions for 38 yards in his NFL career, has had by far the best training camp of any Eagles wide receiver not named A.J. Brown.

WR DeVonta Smith (back stiffness) and S Drew Mukuba (shoulder) sat out practice on July 28, as did LB Smael Mondon (illness) and WR Danny Gray (finger). The following were limited: LB Jihaad Campbell (shoulder), DT Jalen Carter (shoulder), G Kenyon Green (knee), and C Cam Jurgens (back).

PHILADELPHIA — Saquon Barkley sat behind the table, following the man who’s much like a mountain. Lane Johnson lumbered outside the media tent, an ageless pillar poised for his 13th season at right tackle.

Rookie Andrew Mukuba is listed at five feet eleven and 186 pounds. Most predraft evaluations stated many of the same things. The Philadelphia Eagles were acquiring an instinctive safety and a playmaker.

To hold off Eagles rookie safety Andrew Mukuba for the starting role, Brown needs to standout during practice and preseason games. A close competition heavily favors Mukuba, who was chosen by the Eagles in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

A former seventh-round pick, Ojomo continues to show in camp that he's ready to take on a bigger role on the Eagles' defensive line.

He was limited to sideline work in Monday's return, but it's a positive sign for the 2023 first-rounder. The injury may keep Carter out of preseason games, with the goal for him to be fully healthy for the Eagles ' regular-season opener against the Cowboys on Sept.
