Eagles, Rookie Injury Concern
Digest more
Mukuba, who is competing for a starting safety job, didn’t participate in team drills. DeVonta Smith and Jordan Maialata joined the injury list and the offense predictably struggled.
First, the bad news. Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee, who has been brilliant this summer after a strong finish last season, missed practice Tuesday with a finger injury on his throwing hand.
Ndamukong Suh, 38, is a former NFL All-Pro defensive tackle known for his physical dominance and the disruptive edge he brought to the game. His reputation as an enforcer stemmed from his ability to consistently impact the line of scrimmage and bully his opponents throughout games.
Nearly a month into training camp, the Eagles have as many questions at the position as answers. There hasn't been a front-runner in the clubhouse for the job, nor has anyone seized the opportunity.

Eagles training camp notes: Young player’s bad summer has become a nightmare. Can he recover?
The injuries piled on during today’s practice. Rookie safety Drew Mukuba appeared to suffer a hamstring injury during an individual drill and never returned to practice. Second-year wide receiver Johnny Wilson got rolled up during a team drill and couldn’t put pressure on his left foot. He was later carted inside.
Hurts has reached the playoffs in each of his first four seasons as the Eagles’ full-time starter. He has been to two of the last three Super Bowls and played mostly brilliantly in both, including winning it all seven months ago, earning the game’s MVP while bringing home Philadelphia’s second Lombardi Trophy.
The crowded battle to play starting outside cornerback opposite Quinyon Mitchell are “pretty even right now,” according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown could be back from injury soon as he took a step toward a return to practice.
