Two Key Eagles ‘not working in Wild Card vs Buccaneers game

The Eagles’ list of inactive players for today’s game against Tampa Bay includes two surprises, one ball on each side.

Defender Josh Sweat will not be playing after he underwent an emergency procedure on Tuesday.

The loss of sweat is a major blow to the Eagles’ passing fever, after a season in which he posted 45 tackles, 7.5 holsters and a mandatory fumble in 13 league starts. this.

Today, expect to see more Ryan Kerrigan and Tarron Jackson in place of Sweat.

Also out of action today is right keeper Nate Herbig with an ankle injury, Sue Opeta will start in his place.

Opeta will be the fifth right guard for the Eagles this season, with Brandon Brooks, Landon Dickerson, Jack Driscoll, Herbig and now Opeta all having had their time there.
