Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles opened the practice window for defensive end Bryce Huff on Wednesday.

Huff, 26, landed on injured reserve on Nov. 22 following surgery on his left wrist.

He sustained the injury during warmups before the Eagles’ Week 9 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Huff has recorded 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 10 games (five starts) in his first season with Philadelphia.

He tallied 17.5 sacks, 65 tackles and 43 QB hits in 54 games (seven starts) with the New York Jets (2020-23).

The Eagles (12-2) have won 10 straight games entering Sunday’s contest at the Washington Commanders (9-5).

Eagles pass rusher Bryce Huff out after wrist procedure

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Eagles edge rusher Bryce Huff is out for an undetermined recovery period because of a procedure scheduled for Thursday on his injured left wrist.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said Huff should be able to return before the end of the regular season.

He’s been bothered by a wrist issue since Nov. 3, hurt during pregame warmups ahead of Philadelphia’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He tried to play but was limited to six snaps.

“I can’t say enough of how he battled through all those different things. I really admire the way he battled through and played with that cast on,” Sirianni said Wednesday.

Huff signed a $51 million deal to join the Eagles in free agency after a career-best 10 sacks with the New York Jets in 2023.

The Eagles (8-2) haven’t lost since September and have 28 sacks this season with 2.5 from Huff and stronger contributions from his competition at the position. Josh Sweat leads the team with 6.0 sacks and Nolan Smith has 3.5.

Rookie Jalyx Hunt played a season-high 25 snaps at Dallas. He was the 94th pick in the 2024 draft and could be in line for a larger role while Huff recovers.

“We really like our room,” Sirianni said of divvying out Huff’s reps. “They’ve been playing at a really high level. We obviously drafted Jalyx because we liked his skill set. He’s been doing a lot of good things on special teams.”
