According to Philadelphiaeagles.com, Eagles starting strong safety, Quintin Mikell has suffered a minor MCL injury. The site does not elaborate on how the injury occurred.
Chris McPherson of Philadelphiaeagles.com reported, “The starter opposite of [Nate] Allen, strong safety Quintin Mikell, suffered a sprained MCL during the OTA's but will be ready for the start of camp, per Reid.”
