Injuries to Brandon Graham and Bryce Huff have accelerated the development of rookie Jalyx Hunt for the Philadelphia Eagles. Originally expected to be a backup, Hunt was thrust into action after Graham's season-ending injury and Huff's surgery.
In a recent game against the Baltimore Ravens, Hunt recorded two tackles and shared a sack, but received a low grade from Pro Football Focus. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio emphasized the importance of practice and experience for Hunt's growth, acknowledging the challenges young players face.
