Josh Sweat Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat (illness) will not play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after overcoming a "life-threatening" situation this week. Sweat was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday night and underwent an emergency procedure, but he will not be able to take the field on Sunday. The 24-year-old missed the Week 18 regular season finale and had continued to deal with abdominal pain due to his illness, but no further details are known at this time. It's a blow to the Eagles pass rush going up against quarterback Tom Brady, as Sweat had career-highs in tackles (45), QB hits (13) and sacks (7.5) in 16 games this year. It's unclear if he'd be available in the Divisional Round next week if the Eagles pull the upset on Tampa on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive end Josh Sweat to an undisclosed three-year contract extension through the 2024 season on Saturday. The extension comes exactly a week after the Eagles signed left tackle Jordan Mailata to a four-year extension through the 2025 season, so Philly is making sure to lock up their rising young talent. Sweat, a fourth-round pick in 2018, had 38 tackles (24 solo), 12 QB hits and a career-high six sacks in 14 games (three starts) for the Eagles last season. He wasn't able to record a sack in the season-opening win over the Atlanta Falcons, but he did have six combined tackles in the victory. Sweat drew rave reviews in training camp and is in line for a much bigger role moving forward on Philly's defensive line.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat (undisclosed) has been taken to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The nature of his injury hasn't been released yet. He should be considered questionable to return. Losing Sweat would be costly for the Eagles Defense as Sweet's been coming on strong lately. In Week 14, he tallied five tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.
