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, $7.16 million contract with the Eagles in July of 2025.
Lands on injured reserve
The Eagles placed Mukuba (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Mukuba fractured his right ankle during the Eagles' 24-21 overtime loss to the Cowboys this past Sunday. His placement on IR means he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games, though considering he's undergoing surgery, it's unclear whether he'll be available to return this season, even if the Eagles qualify for the playoffs. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters Wednesday that Sydney Brown is slated to start at safety alongside Reed Blankenship (thigh) in Mukuba's absence.
