Another Eagles edge rusher goes down with an injury
Eagles OLB Nolan Smith was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Panthers due to a concussion.
Another one of the Philadelphia Eagles' edge rushers has gone down with an injury, joining a list of sidelined players that has been piling up lately. In their early matchup against the Panthers, it was Nolan Smith who was taken out of the game with a concussion, and he will not be returning. The OLB was quickly ruled out on the field and headed to the locker room without his helmet.
This development comes as the Eagles have already seen Jalyx Hunt and A.J. Epenesa out of Sunday's game with injuries. With Smith out, Jonathan Greenard, Arnold Ebiketie, and Keyshawn James-Newby are the active edge rushers for the Eagles in Week 6. KJN was called up from the practice squad to replace Smith and made his NFL regular season debut after Smith was sidelined.
Smith had a promising start to the game, recording three tackles and a big sack on the Panthers' opening drive, but his performance was cut short due to his injury.
