DeJean is set to start for Avonte Maddox as the Eagles' nickel corner Sunday against the Browns, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports. The Eagles' defense hasn't lived up to expectations early this season, and some changes have ensued. In addition to Devin White being released, DeJean will now start as the team's slot corner. DeJean has played only seven defensive snaps so far in his rookie season, so he could have some growing pains early on.

DeJean (hamstring) registered five tackles (three solo) in the Eagles' 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings on Saturday. DeJean started training camp on the active/NFI list due to a hamstring injury. He missed the first two preseason games and was limited to individual drills, but he was able to ramp up his activity leading up to Philadelphia's preseason finale. DeJean is expected to be used across multiple positions on the Eagles' defense in his rookie season.

DeJean (hamstring) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Vikings, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. DeJean had his college career end last November due to a fractured fibula, then sustained a hamstring injury during offseason training, leading to a slow-building return to action for the 21-year-old. He's expected to be utilized across multiple positions on defense for the Eagles during his rookie campaign.

DeJean (hamstring) began participating in individual drills during Tuesday's practice session, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. DeJean told reporters after practice Tuesday that he felt good after his drills, and he is aiming to play in the Eagles' preseason finale against the Vikings on Aug. 24, per Kubena. DeJean started training camp on the NFI list due to a hamstring strain he sustained during offseason practice, and if he were able to suit up against Minnesota, it would likely only be for one or two defensive series. The rookie second-round pick is expected to be utilized across multiple positions on the Eagles' defense, which ranked 26th in the league last season in yards allowed per game (356.1).
