PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles operated their offseason as if Cooper DeJean was their break-glass option at outside cornerback. In Monday’s practice, they pulled the proverbial emergency hammer off its hook.

The Eagles held their 16th open practice of training camp for the 2025-26 season on Monday at NovaCare Complex. Links to Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Here are my observations from Day 16: Injury update A.

The Eagles were in nickel nearly 90% of the time last season, and DeJean was there full time ever since he was inserted into the lineup in Week 6. So the Eagles would have to be comfortable with someone else at nickel in order to keep DeJean on the outside.
