Eagles Activate Practice Window for Edge Rusher Bryce Huff Following Wrist Surgery

The 26-year-old defensive end is nearing a return after missing four games, as Philadelphia prepares for the final stretch of the season and playoffs.

• Bryce Huff, who underwent wrist surgery in late November, has had his 21-day practice window opened by the Eagles, signaling a potential return to play soon.
• Huff sustained his injury during warmups before the Eagles' Week 9 game against the Jaguars and was placed on injured reserve on November 22.
• The Eagles signed Huff to a three-year, $51.1 million contract this offseason, but he has struggled to replicate his success from the Jets, recording just 2.5 sacks in 10 games this season.
• Philadelphia's edge rusher depth has been tested with Huff's absence and Brandon Graham's season-ending triceps injury, leaving Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith, and rookie Jalyx Hunt to carry the load.
• The Eagles, currently on a 10-game winning streak with a 12-2 record, hope Huff's return bolsters their defensive rotation as they approach the playoffs.
