Jahan Dotson was acquired late in training camp last summer, so he knows what it takes to adjust to a new team, something John Metchie will have to do quickly.

There is still the preseason finale, more practice time, and most importantly, roster movement that could change personnel, specifically at cornerback and safety. But we’re getting closer to the finish line.

Dotson could be a bigger part of the Eagles' offense this season, and Mukuba might've just pushed himself into the starting safety picture.

That's because of Elijah Cooks, signed by the Eagles to the practice squad last January after spending his first two seasons with Jacksonville. Cooks, who has three receptions for 38 yards in his NFL career, has had by far the best training camp of any Eagles wide receiver not named A.J. Brown.

Metchie, who was acquired Sunday from Houston, is close with DeVonta Smith from their time together at Alabama, and also has crossed paths with Jahan Dotson.

Philadelphia Eagles training camp is now complete, with Day 18 of practice in the books. The Birds had a walkthrough, then a short practice, and then another walkthrough to close it out. Mukuba is likely to be a starter at some point this season, in my opinion, but his injury hurts his chances of starting Week 1.

Hurts’ most impressive throw was the ball he fit between Jihaad Campbell and Quinyon Mitchell to give Darius Cooper a chance to make a leaping grab in traffic for a first down. After that rep, a smiling Hurts dapped Cooper up and jogged to the sideline with him.
