The Eagles got a defensive scare in London on Sunday, and it landed at a rough time. Philadelphia was already trying to snap out of consecutive losses against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and then Jalyx Hunt went down late in the first half with an apparent lower-leg injury.
The play itself ended with a stop on fourth down, but the aftermath was the worrying part. Hunt needed help leaving the field, and NFL insider Ari Meirov reported that he refused the medical cart and was assisted to the locker room instead. That is the extent of the available reporting for now, and there has been no confirmed diagnosis or official word on whether he can return.

Philadelphia’s edge depth was already being tested before Hunt exited. Jonathan Greenard had been ruled inactive with an ankle injury, so the Eagles were already working with less flexibility on the outside.
Hunt has been a real part of the rotation through the first month of the season. According to his official team stats, he entered Week 6 with 12 tackles, including nine solo tackles, across Philadelphia’s first four games of the 2026 regular season. If he can’t come back, the Eagles may have to lean harder on Nolan Smith and Arnold Ebiketie on the edge.

Jaguars Suddenly Face A Trevor Lawrence Problem They Can't Ignore
Anton Harrisons exit in Week 5 quickly became one of the most important developments of the Jaguars day, because the left tackles injury carries obvious ripple effects for an offense built around Trevor Lawrence. Harrison was carted off the field and did not return, leaving Jacksonville waiting on MRI results while Liam Coen addressed both the uncertainty around the tackle and the way the team will handle the position if it has to move forward without him.
The Jaguars do have options if Harrison is sidelined, with Walker Little, Wyatt Milum, Daniel Faalele and Patrick Mekari all mentioned as possible depth answers at offensive tackle. Even so, this is the kind of injury that can test how much protection Lawrence really has up front, and it puts a premium on how quickly Jacksonville can settle the left side while the diagnosis plays out.

Jaguars Snap Counts Hint At One Offensive Shift Fans Need To See
The Jaguars Week 5 snap counts offered a clearer look at how the offense is adapting to injuries, and the most notable change came in the backfield. Bhayshul Tuten logged a career-high workload and handled the most carries, a sign hes starting to settle in as the lead running back, while Chris Rodriguez Jr. saw his role shrink as the game plan leaned harder into Tutens burst and volume.
There were encouraging developments elsewhere, too, as rookie skill players Josh Cameron and Nate Boerkircher were both more involved and made the most of it in receiving yards and snaps. For an offense trying to piece together production on the fly, those growing roles matter, and they raise the obvious question of whether this usage is a short-term fix or the start of a more permanent shift.
