Eagles' Greenard: Injury Clouds Bold Sack Forecast
9 Sep
Summary
- ESPN predicts Greenard could achieve 0.8 sacks per game.
- He recorded 12.5 sacks in his best season in 2023.
- Greenard's Week 1 status for the Eagles is uncertain.
Jonathan Greenard, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, faces uncertainty regarding his Week 1 availability due to an offseason pec injury. This setback impacts expectations for his first season with the team.
ESPN analyst Seth Walder has issued a bold prediction, forecasting Greenard to achieve at least 0.8 sacks per game. This projection, if realized over a 17-game season, would equate to 13.6 sacks, surpassing his career-high of 12.5 sacks recorded in 2023 with the Houston Texans.
Greenard joins a formidable Eagles defense, potentially benefiting from the attention drawn by interior linemen like Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. His status has been upgraded from the PUP list, but his participation in the season opener against the Washington Commanders is still in question.
Even with potential missed time, the Eagles anticipate significant contributions from Greenard, aiming for him to live up to the hype and bolster their defense in 2026.
