As the Philadelphia Eagles suffered a brutal loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, 19-17, the team would also be hit with an injury to linebacker Jalyx Hunt. With Hunt suffering the injury with the Eagles before halftime, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio would give an update that suggests what his Week 6 status against the Carolina Panthers will look like.
Fangio would say to the media on Tuesday that it would be “miraculous” if Hunt played on Sunday against the Panthers. Meaning, there is no doubt that Philadelphia hopes the miracle comes true in Hunt being available for the contest.
“Vic Fangio said it would be ‘miraculous' for Jalyx Hunt to play Sunday,” Berman wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “The Eagles planned to rotate J. Campbell and J. Trotter in this game. That plan will continue. He disputed [a] report that Trotter was going to start.”
