Buy Eagles Tickets#Eagles DL Fletcher Cox underwent an epidural injection procedure this week to alleviate discomfort he'd been experiencing in his back over the past couple weeks, source said. If he has to miss any time, the expectation is it's not more than one game.

Cox hasn’t missed a game of significance since 2017, and if he can’t play, it could allow Jalen Carter to have an extended look playing next to Jordan Davis.
Cox has ten tackles, .05 sacks, one fumble recovery, and 7 QB hits.
