Cooper DeJean will now sometimes be a safety with the Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles

Cooper DeJean is not a safety. Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Thursday the second-year defensive back will continue taking reps at safety in the team’s base defense during training camp. DeJean, who played in the slot in nickel during his rookie season, took practice reps at safety during Day 1 of training Camp Wednesday. “The primary motive is that we’d like to have him be part of our base package, and I do believe he can play safety,” Fangio said.
