Eagles' EDGE Rusher Situation
The Philadelphia Eagles, defending Super Bowl Champions, are facing questions after back-to-back losses, their first since the end of the 2023 season.
The sudden retirement of Za'Darius Smith has further depleted their EDGE group ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Smith had 1.5 sacks in five games, leading the room, while the current healthy group, including Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche, Azeez Ojulari, and Patrick Johnson, have just one sack this season.
Za'Darius Smith announced his retirement on his Instagram.
