Eagles' Sydney Brown: Logs six stops in starting role
Rotowire
Brown finished Friday's Week 13 loss to Chicago with six tackles (three solo).
Brown was on the field for all but two of Philadelphia's 87 defensive snaps as he moved into a starting role as a result of Andrew Mukuba (ankle) landing on IR on Wednesday. Mukuba could very well be out for the remainder of the season, so Brown figures to retain the starting role moving forward. Prior to Friday, he had been working mostly on special teams this season.

Eagles' Sydney Brown: Expected to take over as starter
Rotowire
Brown is expected to take over as a starting safety for the Eagles following the injury to Andrew Mukuba (ankle) in last Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Mukuba is likely to miss at least the remainder of the regular season after suffering a fractured ankle against Dallas. Brown has started just seven of his 36 career regular-season contests during his three-year career, but he's next up alongside Reed Blankenship on the back end of the Philadelphia defense. Brown has logged just 86 defensive snaps through 11 appearances this season.
