How the injury unfolded

The play came after the Eagles made a fourth-down stop just before halftime. Hunt was hurt while attempting to recover a fumble by Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten.

He was helped to the locker room in visible pain. According to Ari Meirov, Hunt refused a cart and was assisted off the field with a lower-leg injury.

Postgame walking boot

After the game, Olivia Reiner reported that Hunt left the locker room in a walking boot on his left foot. The boot is a significant development for a player whose physicality, skill and energy are important to the Eagles defense.

Hunt’s exact return timeline remains unknown. The severity of the injury has not been disclosed, and it is unclear whether he will miss future games.

Thin edge rusher rotation

With Hunt out, the Eagles are down to Smith, Ebiketie and Epenesa at edge rusher. The reduced depth puts more pressure on that trio.

Jonathan Greenard was inactive as a game-time decision, further depleting the position. Greenard’s absence was not injury-related per the brief.

Other defensive absence

Linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was ejected early in the game, adding to the Eagles’ defensive losses. Trotter’s ejection came in the early seconds.

The Eagles defense had to adjust without both Hunt and Trotter Jr. for most of the game.

What's next

Hunt’s status for upcoming games is uncertain. The team has not provided a timeline for his return. The walking boot suggests the injury will require further evaluation.

For now, the Eagles must rely on their remaining edge rushers as they await clarity on Hunt’s left ankle and knee.
