Share this article:
PHILADELPHIA — A talented wide receiver who impressed during the Philadelphia Eagles’ training camp has sparked controversy by walking out of a practice session ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on September 21, 2025. The unexpected departure, confirmed by team sources on Thursday, September 18, 2025, has left coaches and teammates stunned, with the player citing frustration over not being activated for the first two games of the season. The incident has raised questions about his future with the team as the Eagles prepare for a critical NFC showdown.
The player, who stood out in preseason drills with impressive catches and route-running, has yet to see the field in the Eagles’ 24-20 Week 1 win over the Cowboys or their 20-17 Week 2 victory against the Chiefs. Despite his strong performance during training camp, he remained relegated to the practice squad, overshadowed by established stars like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. His decision to abandon practice comes as a bold statement, with insiders suggesting a growing discontent with his lack of playing time.
In a candid exchange with a teammate, the player revealed his reasoning, stating, “I’ve done everything I could to the best of my ability, but I’m still overlooked. Two games have passed, and the team’s fine without me, so I don’t need them either. I’ll look for a new home—if an opportunity comes, I’ll leave right away.” The outburst has fueled speculation about a potential trade or release, with the Eagles’ front office yet to comment officially. Coach Nick Sirianni expressed disappointment, noting, “We value every player, but this isn’t the way to handle it.”
Fans on X are divided, with @EaglesFanatic posting, “If he’s that good, why not play him?” while @PhillySportsFan warned, “Walking out could cost him his shot.” As the Rams game looms, the team’s depth at wide receiver—bolstered by Jahan Dotson and John Metchie III—may have contributed to his frustration. The player’s identity remained under wraps until now—he is Darius Cooper.
Will this walkout pave the way for a new chapter, or end his Eagles tenure? The answer awaits as Week 3 approaches.
