The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to wash a bad taste out of their mouth after squandering a 21-0 lead to lose to the Dallas Cowboys last week, which brought a four-game winning streak to an end. Philly has a tough matchup with the 8-3 Chicago Bears on Black Friday in a potential playoff preview and is looking to move on from the Cowboys’ letdown.
To make matters worse, last week, rookie second-round safety Andrew Mukuba suffered a broken ankle against Dallas and was placed on injured reserve shortly after the game. There is no timetable for his return, but the rookie had some positive words for the fans after his successful surgery.
It’s always tough to see a rookie’s season cut short in such tragic fashion, but Mukuba took to X on Wednesday to provide an update. The rookie sounds as if he is in good spirits, and he is now on the road to recovery.
“Surgery went well! All thanks to the man above. I’m built for whatever let the journey begin,” Mukuba posted on X.

Mukuba was having a strong rookie year with 46 tackles and a pair of interceptions as a vital part of this young Eagles secondary, and his absence is going to create question marks. Sydney Brown will be relied upon to step up in his absence, and more pressure will be placed on the rest of the secondary without Mukuba’s presence.
Philly’s secondary has plenty of star power, but the production hasn’t always been there this season. It will be interesting to see if everybody can step up in Mukuba’s absence, and it’s great to hear his surgery went well.
