Philadelphia Eagles rookie defensive back Cooper DeJean has returned to practice after being sidelined with a hamstring injury since the start of training camp. DeJean, a second-round pick, participated in individual drills during the Eagles' joint practice with the New England Patriots. Head coach Nick Sirianni mentioned that DeJean is progressing well but will not take part in team drills yet. DeJean's return adds to the competition in a crowded Eagles secondary, which includes first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell and other young talents. DeJean aims to play in the preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings and is expected to contribute in various defensive roles this season. His return comes at a crucial time as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
