Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat was transported to a local hospital with a neck injury he sustained during Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Sweat, 25, was injured while tackling Adam Prentice of the Saints on the game-opening drive in Philadelphia.
The Eagles said Sunday evening that Sweat has feeling in all his extremities and will be released from the hospital on Sunday night.
After the play, Sweat was immobilized and taken off the field on a stretcher before going to the hospital for what the team called precautionary reasons.
Sweat entered the game with a career-high 11 sacks and 47 tackles in 15 starts this season.
The 2021 Pro Bowl selection has 28.5 sacks in 71 games (32 starts) since being drafted in the fourth round by the Eagles in 2018.
