The Philadelphia Eagles placed starting safety Andrew Mukuba on injured reserve on Wednesday due to an ankle injury he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Multiple reports earlier this week said the rookie, who must sit out at least four games, will have surgery for a fractured ankle.
Mukuba, 22, has started 10 of the team's 11 games and has 46 tackles, two interceptions, one-half sack and three passes defensed. He has been on the field for 93% of the defensive snaps.
Philadelphia selected Mukuba in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Texas.
The Eagles are also dealing with a thigh injury to their other starting safety, Reed Blankenship, who was limited at practice on Wednesday. Safety Sydney Brown, who started one of 11 games played this season and seven of 36 in his career since 2023, is likely to replace Mukuba in the lineup.
Wide receiver DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest/illness), offensive tackle Lane Johnson (foot) and wide receiver Xavier Gipson (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.
Running back Saquon Barkley (groin), offensive lineman Landon Dickerson (knee) and defensive end Brandon Graham (groin) were limited.
Philadelphia elevated wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey to the active roster and placed offensive tackle Luke Felix-Fualalo, the team's international practice squad exemption, on practice squad injured reserve (undisclosed injury).
