Andrew Mukuba's preseason performance caught writer's attention before injury

While the news may not seem significant at the moment, Bleacher Report has released some encouraging updates regarding the play of rookie Andrew Mukuba. Brent Sobleski ranked Mukuba the fifth-best rookie after week 2 of preseason games.

"The Eagles wanted a cover safety when they chose the Texas product with this year's 64th overall pick. He has excellent range and a nose for the football, as seen this past weekend.

More importantly for any young defensive back, Mukuba showed some resiliency. He was beaten on a pass three plays before snagging a pick-six.
