Darius Cooper's Rise Sparks Eagles in Week 2 Win

Week 2 snap counts show Darius Cooper stepping up with 3 targets, 26 yards, and the game-winning TD, as the Eagles lean on DeVonta Smith (11 catches, 117 yards) and shuffle personnel with Cam Jurgens at left guard and Mundt at TE due to Goedert’s knee injury. Makai Lemon’s snap rate stays around 64% from Week 1, Dontayvion Wicks logs 6 targets, and Will Shipley splits carries with Tank Bigsby. Defensively, Cooper DeJean plays every snap, Moro Ojomo surpasses Jalen Carter for DT time, and Jalyx Hunt remains the top edge rusher. Michael Carter II could see more safety action, while special teams contributions come from Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Britain Covey. The Eagles still have an open roster spot as they prepare for Week 3 against the Bears.

Undrafted Cooper seals Eagles’ win with first NFL TD

Undrafted Eagles WR Darius Cooper caught a 3-yard game-winning TD in the back of the end zone on a late drive versus the Titans, a pass not designed for him after DeVonta Smith slipped. Cooper had a 23-yard catch earlier and has emerged as a gritty, selfless blocker and special-teams contributor, thriving under coach Nick Sirianni’s trust as Hurts engineered the late scoring drive for a 24-20 win.

Hurts orchestrates late rally as Eagles edge Titans 24-20

Jalen Hurts engineered a 65-yard game-winning drive in the final minutes to lift the Eagles to a 24-20 win over the Titans after a rough second half. Hurts went 6-for-8 for 61 yards on the decisive drive, including a 19-yard play to DeVonta Smith that set up the 3-yard TD to Darius Cooper with 9 seconds left. Smith piled up 117 yards and a TD, Cooper caught the winning pass, and Dontayvion Wicks contributed key plays. Kendall delivered a strong first NFL start at center, Elliott nailed a 58-yard FG, but the running game remained stagnant and the defense didn’t force a turnover in two games. With Goedert injured, TE depth is a concern moving forward.

McKee Pushes for Eagles' QB2 as Second-Team Shines in Preseason

Even in a loss to the Patriots, the Eagles’ backups flashed, with Tanner McKee outplaying Andy Dalton at QB2 (16-of-22, 173 yards, 2 TDs); Carson Steele showed versatility as a pass-catching back; Will Shipley and Darius Cooper provided meaningful offensive help; Ty Robinson harassed the line on defense, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Joshua Weru delivered impact plays on that unit. The performance helped clarify several roster decisions ahead of the 53-man deadline, though Dalton, Ambry Thomas, Cole Payton, Michael Jordan, and Micah Morris offered drawbacks that could affect their spots.

Cooper and Moore Push to Lead Eagles' First-Team Offense on Day 9

Darius Cooper Emerges as Eagles' Camp Standout

During the ninth Eagles practice, Darius Cooper stood out with back-to-back catches and a late grab, cementing himself as a top option as Hurts connected with Cooper and Elijah Moore. The session featured competitive pace, injuries to DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon, Cam Jurgens returning after heat exhaustion, and a tight backup QB battle between Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton. Lemon’s absence is a concern for his rookie timeline, but Cooper’s impressive showing could push him into a larger role this season.

Dalton struggled with accuracy, while Tanner McKee flashed occasional precision; undrafted long snapper Rocco Underwood had a high snap but recovered. Overall, a spirited, competitive practice with notable growth and intensity.
