Eagles edge rusher Hunt unlikely to play against Panthers

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 20:03 · Archive

Eagles edge rusher Jalyx Hunt suffered ankle and knee injuries and is unlikely to play against the Panthers this week.

Jalyx Hunt suffered ankle and knee injuries during the Eagles' game against Jacksonville at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers in Week 6, according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. The injuries appeared serious and required assistance to get Hunt off the field.

Fangio said on Tuesday that 'it'll be pretty miraculous for Jalyx to play this week'. However, he noted that Hunt is the kind of player who will push to return and won't be hesitant about coming back, suggesting the injuries may not sideline him for an extended period or land him on injured reserve.

Hunt's potential absence would further deplete the Eagles' edge rusher group ahead of a crucial divisional matchup. The team would be left with Nolan Smith Jr., Jonathan Greenard, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa. The Eagles are attempting to snap a three-game losing streak, while the Panthers' offense has recently become more explosive.
