Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Jonathan Greenard has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders due to a pectoral injury. Although Greenard returned to practice in full pads this week, he has not yet reached full strength.

Greenard, who signed a contract extension following a trade, has been recovering from the strain sustained during weightlifting. In his absence, the Eagles will rely on Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith Jr. to start. Hunt, a third-year edge rusher, has been highlighted by analysts as a rising talent following a 2025 season in which he led the franchise in both sacks and interceptions. The team continues to utilize depth players A.J. Epenesa and Arnold Ebiketie to manage the rotation.
