Eagles put S Andrew Mukuba on injured reserve

Eagles rookie safety Andrew Mukuba has been placed on injured reserve after fracturing his leg during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Mukuba is expected to be sidelined for at least four games. Head coach Nick Sirianni declined to provide a specific timetable for Mukuba's return, leaving the possibility open that he may not play again this season. Mukuba has been a key player for the Eagles, participating in over 90% of the defensive snaps in the first 11 games, and has contributed 46 tackles, two interceptions, and a half-sack. In his absence, Sydney Brown is anticipated to start alongside Reed Blankenship at safety. To fill Mukuba's roster spot, the Eagles have signed wide receiver Britain Covey, who has primarily served as a punt returner in his 38 appearances over the past three seasons.
