The star cornerback had a notable gash above his left eye during the Super Bowl parade in downtown Philadelphia. But unlike general manager Howie Roseman, who was hit with an errant beer can, DeJean’s injury was self-inflicted. “Might be the best day of my life. I got a little battle scar going on,” DeJean told FOX Sports in an interview during the parade route. “I hit myself with this big a– chain,” he said with a laugh, referring to the oversize Bud Light chain hanging around his neck. One Philly fan seemed to track down the moment the injury occurred – it appeared to be when DeJean was spraying the crowd with beer. The fan shared the picture with DeJean on X, and he confirmed.
