The Philadelphia Eagles will have safety Drew Mukuba available for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
Mukuba is active after being listed as questionable with a knee injury. He missed Thursday’s practice before returning as a limited participant Friday. Philadelphia listed quarterbacks Tanner McKee and Cole Payton, wide receiver Elijah Moore, outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard and guard Micah Morris as inactive.McKee was designated as the emergency third quarterback. He can enter the game if Jalen Hurts and Andy Dalton are forced to exit. Moore is inactive after appearing on Friday’s injury report with a neck injury, although he participated fully and did not receive a game status.

Greenard had already been ruled out with a pectoral injury. His absence leaves Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith Jr., Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa as Philadelphia’s primary edge defenders. Mukuba’s availability provides some stability for the secondary against Cam Ward and Tennessee’s passing game. It also allows Cooper DeJean to maintain his versatile role instead of being forced into a full-time safety assignment.
The Titans listed cornerback Cor’Dale Flott, linebackers James Williams and Jackie Marshall, defensive lineman Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and tight end Kyle Granson as inactive. Flott’s absence could create opportunities for DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks on the outside. Tennessee will also have less linebacker depth against an Eagles rushing attack built around Saquon Barkley and Hurts.
