Philadelphia. PA. The Philadelphia Eagles were dealt a heavy blow on Monday as rookie safety Drew Mukuba was officially ruled out for the rest of the season. Mukuba, who was injured during Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, requires leg surgery.
Mukuba had been one of the top rookies for the Eagles this season, becoming a key contributor in their defense. His performance had earned him high praise, especially for his speed, instinct, and ability to read the game.
Drew Mukuba was injured in the second half of the game against the Cowboys. He attempted to continue playing but was quickly sidelined. The Eagles confirmed that the injury requires surgery, ending his rookie season prematurely.

Head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the injury, expressing disappointment but also acknowledging Mukuba’s resilience. “Drew has been a force for us this season. It’s tough to lose him, but we know he’ll come back strong,” Sirianni said.
The Eagles, already struggling with injuries throughout the season, now face the challenge of replacing Mukuba’s presence in the secondary. His absence leaves a noticeable gap as the defense prepares for upcoming games, starting with the Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Despite the setback, the Eagles remain hopeful about Mukuba’s recovery and long-term future with the team. His season ended too soon, but his potential is clear, and he will be sorely missed as the team pushes forward in 2025.
Packers Sign Former Super Bowl Champion DT After Workout Amid Concerns About Devonte Wyatt
Green Bay, WI — The Green Bay Packers have officially signed defensive tackle Keondre Coburn, a
former Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, following Monday’s round of workouts that included five interior linemen. The move comes amid growing concern over Devonte Wyatt’s lingering knee injury.
Coburn, a 2023 sixth-round pick by Kansas City, appeared in 25 career games across stints with the Chiefs and Tennessee Titans, recording valuable rotational experience on the defensive front. Known for his strength and ability to plug gaps, the 6-foot-2, 332-pound lineman brings both size and championship pedigree to Green Bay.
His skill set fits perfectly with what the Packers have been missing up front — a physical interior presence capable of absorbing double teams and freeing up edge rushers. Coburn’s addition is expected to immediately provide depth and stability inside the Packers’ defensive line.
The Packers brought in Tommy Akingbesote, Anthony Campbell, Fabien Lovett, and Omari Thomas alongside Coburn for Monday’s session but opted to finalize a deal only with the veteran defender.
Wyatt, meanwhile, remains listed as “week-to-week” after suffering a knee injury in the Week 4 tie against the Cowboys. Without him, the Packers’ defensive interior has struggled to control the line of scrimmage, conceding several explosive plays in the second half of that game.
With Coburn’s arrival, the Packers (2-1-1) aim to reinforce their front ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, hoping his championship experience can anchor a defense looking to regain its identity.
