July 18, 2008 Quintin Mikell will battle Sean Considine to be the starter at strong safety for the Eagles, according to Pro Football Weekly.
Our View:Both players have something to prove, though Mikell, who registered 75 tackles last season, is said to have the edge on the starting job.
April 2, 2008 Quintin Mikell played so well last season that he heads into the offseason program as the Philadelphia Eagles’ starter at strong safety, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. "I was a lot more excited this offseason about the start of the offseason program than I ever have been, because of the opportunity I have in front of me," Mikell said. "For some reason, a lot of people [in the media] aren't willing to say I'm the starter, but I feel like I'm the starter; whatever happens, I feel like I earned that. I try not to listen to what people say because I know I can do it, and I know I've earned a spot." Mikell started 11 games last season, and compiled five or more solo tackles six different times. He is the frontrunner to start, but will likely be challenged by Sean Considine in training camp.
February 27, 2007 The Eagles re-signed Quintin Mikell to a four-year deal Tuesday, according to Sports Network. "Quintin has been a really good football player for us," said general manager Tom Heckert. "He's a vital contributor for us on special teams and does a very solid job when he's on the field defensively. We're glad to keep him here in Philadelphia."
August 16, 2004 Quintin Mikell was thought to have suffered a torn ACL in Friday night's preseason game but it turns out it's just a sprain and he will not require surgery, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He could be back in two or three weeks.
