Jalyx Hunt is set to take on a more significant role in the Eagles' edge-rushing rotation following Bryce Huff's wrist surgery. Although his rookie season has primarily involved special teams, Hunt has been preparing for this opportunity, emphasizing the importance of being ready when called upon. He has gained experience on the defensive front, recently playing 25 snaps in a game against Dallas, where he focused on holding the edge and supporting the run defense. Despite a recent ankle injury, he is trending positively for the upcoming game against the Rams. Hunt reflects on his initial challenges in the NFL, particularly against All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson, which he views as a pivotal learning experience.
