Eagles rookie Cooper DeJean isn't getting the valuable education most rookies get in training camp, like Quinyon Mitchell and Will Shipley, among others, are getting.
PHILADELPHIA – It doesn’t hit me until seeing how fast-paced these Eagles training camp practices are, how every rookie gets significant reps and even gets some first-team work, exactly how much Cooper DeJean is missing by sitting out with a hamstring injury.
That will probably be too soon. The likelihood is he probably returns at some point before the final preseason game on Aug. 24. Would that, plus another two weeks of training, be enough to get him to the starting line in Brazil on Sept. 6?“He's been taking it good,” said fellow rookie Quinyon Mitchell. “Been taking care of the body, gaining mental reps. When he comes back, he's gonna be ready.
Meanwhile, the education of the Eagles’ rookies is proceeding without DeJean. Frst-year players quickly realize there is no more class to attend and that the game has now become a business.
