2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mukuba was selected 64th overall by the Eagles in the 2025 Draft. He spent his first three collegiate seasons at Clemson before transferring to Texas, where he finished his senior year with career highs in interceptions (five) and tackles (41). He saw first-team reps at safety in the nickel defense at the start of camp, suggesting he's in line for a significant role right from the start of his NFL career. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year contract with the Eagles in July of 2025.
Working through hamstring injury
Mukuba did not participate in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mukuba was able to overcome a shoulder injury to participate in training camp practice, but he is now working through a hamstring issue that sidelined him for Thursday's session. The Eagles open the regular season against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4, so Mukuba's practice participation next week will factor into his chances of suiting up for Week 1. The rookie second-rounder is expected to serve in a rotational role at safety behind starters Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown.
