Cooper DeJean is increasingly earning more playing time as a slot cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles, as confirmed by head coach Nick Sirianni. Despite a hamstring injury that sidelined him initially, DeJean's practice performance has improved, showing he is close to being ready for game action.
DeJean could potentially make his starting debut against the Atlanta Falcons, assuming he stays healthy and continues to progress. The Eagles struggled in the slot during Week 1, and DeJean's return could enhance their defensive setup.
