The Philadelphia Eagles have officially revealed their Week 2 lineup against the Tennessee Titans, and it will include starting safety Andrew Mukuba.
Mukuba has been dealing with a knee injury this week and will play in the Titans game. Philly announced their inactive list for the Titans game with 90 minutes to go before kickoff. Here's the full list of inactives:
- Tanner McKee, QB3
- Cole Payton, QB
- Elijah Moore, WR
- Jonathan Greenard, EDGE
- Micah Morris, OG
Eagles' inactive list reveals Andrew Mukuba is in
Mukuba is coming off a decent start to the 2026 season after the 24-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 1. He allowed one reception and a passer rating of 91.7, with one tackle made in the win.
Pro Football Focus gave Mukuba an overall grade of 63.7, ranking 30th out of 72 eligible safeties. He also had a coverage grade of 60.9, ranking 32nd, and a run-defense grade of 65.4, ranking 35th.
In anticipation of the Mukuba news, the Eagles promoted rookie Maximus Pulley from the practice squad to the active roster. This move gives the team more depth at safety and help on special teams. It will be Pulley's NFL debut after going undrafted.
Philly will be happy to have Mukuba in the game and playing. They will avoid shifting the focus to Michael Carter II starting and instead will play Mukuba and Marcus Epps, as they did in Week 1. Cooper DeJean will continue to get some reps at safety when the Eagles are in base defense.
The Eagles' defense enters the game with several injuries, including Mukuba and DeJean. Jalen Carter is playing with a wrist injury, and Jonathan Greenard is out with a pectoral injury.
This adds an interesting element to the Eagles' defense, and they need to keep up the momentum they carried from the Washington game. With the offense still trying to get settled and gel, all eyes will be on Philly's defense to see how they respond to injuries and how they play against the Titans.
