Eagles Get Disappointing Zach Baun Update at Practice 

The linebacker has become a central figure in the Eagles’ defense under coordinator Vic Fangio. His responsibilities include communicating defensive adjustments and helping organize the unit, making his availability especially important against a productive Rams offense.

Philadelphia could turn to rookie Jeremiah Trotter Jr. if Baun is unable to play. Meanwhile, fellow linebacker Jihaad Campbell was limited Wednesday with a knee injury, creating another concern for the team’s depth at the position.

The timing is not ideal. The Eagles are preparing to face quarterback Matthew Stafford and a Rams offense that could receive a major boost from wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is expected to return after missing time with hip and groin issues. 

Baun’s recovery will be particularly important because Philadelphia has a short week to prepare. The team will need to monitor his progress and determine whether he can safely return to practice.

For now, the Eagles have not ruled Baun out of Sunday’s contest. His status remains uncertain, and the coming days should provide a clearer picture of whether Philadelphia will have its defensive leader available.
