Jalen Mills Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Jalen Mills is making the move from cornerback to safety this year with Malcolm Jenkins now in New Orleans. Mills is also starting to move into more of a leadership role for the Eagles Defense. He was drafted in the seventh round as a cornerback out of LSU, and he impressed the team enough to re-sign for one year and $4 million. The 26-year-old has just four interceptions in his four NFL seasons, but he could become one to watch in IDP leagues if his new role as the quarterback of the secondary allows him to become more of a ball hawk. Mills recorded 41 combined tackles, one interception and seven passes defensed in nine games for Philly in 2019.

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed defensive back Jalen Mills with the intention of moving him to safety to help account for the loss of Malcolm Jenkins in the starting lineup. It's a gamble, but the additions of Darius Slay and Nickell Robey-Coleman could make Mills' transition smoother. The Eagles have three former starters coming off the bench in Sidney Jones, Rasul Douglas and Cre'Von LeBlanc, so their defensive back depth is the best of any position on that side of the ball entering the 2020 season. The Eagles secondary has been a big question mark for a while now, so this defense could be much more solid this season.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jalen Mills (foot) is unlikely to be ready to go for the start of training camp. Mills was placed on injured reserve in October after suffering a foot injury and did not participate in any of the offseason program. Reports state that Mills was not even on the field working with the other injured Eagles players. It's unknown for now if Mills is expected to be ready for Week 1, but he'd need to get a lot of work in soon for that to be a realistic possibility. The Eagles may have some depth chart issues in their secondary if some of their guys don't heal quickly.
