2024 Fantasy Outlook
After jumping up to a career-high 11.0 sacks in 2022, Sweat fell back to 6.5 last season, which is in line with his totals from 2020 (6.0) and 2021 (7.5). The drop in production is disappointing considering that it came as Sweat saw a big jump in his snap share, going from 56 to 71 percent of defensive plays. He also had a slight decrease in tackles, going from 48 to 43. Sweat should remain an important part of the Eagles' pass rush this season, but his drop in output could lead to a return to the smaller role he had for most of his career. Read Past Outlooks
Practices in full Thursday
Sweat (hip) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Sweat was limited by a hip issue during Wednesday's practice, but it doesn't appear to be severe as he was able to practice in full Thursday. Unless he suffers a setback, Sweat should be good to go against the Cowboys on Sunday. Through eight regular-season games, Sweat has logged 19 tackles (12 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and two pass breakups.

2018
Sweat started 16 games and finished third on the Eagles defensive line in total defensive snaps (587) last season, resulting in career highs across the board. Sweat's 48 tackles, 11 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss all represented personal bests, while he also intercepted a pass for the first time, running it back for a score. The 2018 fourth-round pick has developed nicely over his five seasons in Philadelphia but will have to keep performing to maintain his snap count on a deep defensive line which gets Derek Barnett back from his ACL surgery.
