  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Back in Philly on one-year deal

    Cox came to terms Wednesday with the Eagles on a one-year, $10 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Cox has spent his entire 11-year career with the Eagles and will be back for a 12th in 2023. Still effective at 32 years old, Cox registered seven sacks for the NFC champions last season while playing 65 percent of the defensive snaps.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Plays every game in 2022

    Cox played all 17 regular-season games in 2022 and posted 43 tackles, seven sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 690 defensive snaps. The 11-year defensive tackle was a consistent part of the Eagles' elite pass rush and posted his most sacks since 2018, when he recorded a career-high 10.5. He added another sack of the Giants' Daniel Jones in the Eagles' divisional-round win, but he recorded just two total tackles in the team's other two playoff contests. Cox was playing on an expiring contract in 2022, but given he's never played for another team, a return to Philadelphia could be in the cards as he heads into his age-32 season.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Re-signs with Philly

    Cox signed a one-year, $14 million contract with the Eagles on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Cox was cut by the Eagles on Thursday, but it took only a couple days for him to work out a new deal for 2022. The 31-year-old hasn't displayed his former level of dominance in recent years and finished last season with 35 tackles (25 solo), 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 16 games.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Released, but could re-sign

    Cox was released by the Eagles on Thursday but may end up re-signing with the team, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. The Eagles released Cox shortly before an $18 million guarantee was set to kick in at 4:00 p.m. ET on Thursday. They're hoping to bring him back at a lower price, but he also now has the option of talking with other teams. The 32-year-old defensive tackle was one of the top interior pass rushers in the league in the mid-to-late 2010s, and he remains a quality starter even after some decline in recent years (4.5 sacks per season 2019-21).

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Moves to COVID list

    Cox was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Cox recorded four tackles (two solo) and a half-sack during Sunday's win over Washington, and he's now on the COVID-19 list a day later. It'll be somewhat of a quick turnaround, but he still has a chance to clear the NFL protocols in time to play Saturday versus the Cowboys.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Notches first sack Week 5

    Cox had two tackles (one solo) and one sack during Philadelphia's win over the Panthers in Week 5. Cox only has four tackles, one sack and a forced fumble through five appearances this season, so he's only worth IDP consideration in plus matchups. Thursday night's contest against the Buccaneers doesn't seem like an ideal situation for the veteran defensive lineman, though he has played at least 70 percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back games.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Exits with cramps

    Cox exited Monday's Week 3 contest against the Cowboys and went to the locker room due to cramping. Cox was down on the field for a few minutes but received water from the training staff before taking his feet to exit to get to the sideline. He seemed to motion for an I.V., though there has been no official word from the team regarding any treatment that he is receiving.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Good to go for Week 3

    Cox (illness) was a full participant during Saturday's practice and isn't listed on the Eagles' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cowboys. Cox sat out of Friday's practice with an illness, but he was back in action Saturday. The 30-year-old defensive tackle played 50 defensive snaps and registered four tackles during Week 2.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: To miss 2020 finale

    Cox (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against Washington after being listed as a non-participant for Friday's practice. The six-time Pro Bowler had to exit Philadelphia's Week 16 loss with a stinger after fielding just seven defensive snaps. Cox was subsequently listed as a non-participant throughout the entire practice week before being deemed out for the Eagles' 2020 finale. He's proven to be incredibly durable with just four absences over nine pro campaigns, but there isn't much to gain in pushing the 30-year-old back into action. Philadelphia was eliminated from playoff contention with its loss to Dallas last Sunday.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Leaves with stinger

    Cox suffered a stinger during Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Cox has battled a neck injury for the better part of December. He was spotted on the bench without his shoulder pads during the second quarter. It's a big loss if he can't return, as Cox has produced 40 tackles and 6.5 sacks through 14 games. Javon Hargrave figures to absorb Cox's role moving forward.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Active Sunday

    Cox (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The 30-year-old was considered questionable as he continues to manage the neck injury, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. Cox should continue to play a pivotal role in Philadelphia's defensive line rotation.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Upgraded Thursday

    Cox (neck) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. Cox missed Wednesday's practice completely with the neck issue, but as evidenced by this news, he's on track to play in Sunday's game against the Saints. The veteran has seen action in at least 62 percent of defensive snaps in each game this season, so expect Cox back out there in his usual starting role across the defensive line.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Ready to rock

    Cox (neck) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay. Cox was limited in Friday's practice, but it appears as though the veteran defensive tackle simply had a cap on his reps for management purposes. He's set to draw his usual start against the Packers.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Sits out practice Wednesday

    Cox (neck) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. This is a new injury for Cox, who managed to play 70 percent of the defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Seahawks. Cox is instrumental to the Eagles' defensive line, and any missed time would greatly impact the defense in the pass-rushing and run-stopping departments. He'll look to get on the field in some capacity by Friday with a Week 13 matchup against the Packers on tap.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Nursing oblique issue

    Cox did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to an oblique injury. Cox is day-to-day, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, so he could still have a shot at suiting up against Cincinnati on Sunday if he's able to upgrade his practice activity Thursday and Friday. The veteran defensive tackle has yet to record a sack this season, and a lingering oblique issue only makes him more difficult to trust in IDP formats.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Makes 40 tackles in 2019

    Cox recorded 40 tackles (26 solo), 3.5 sacks, two pass breakups and three forced fumbles while playing in all 16 of the Eagles' regular-season games in 2019. Cox has logged between 40 and 46 tackles in three of the past four campaigns, but he turned in the second-lowest sack total of his eight-year career. He'll likely bounce back and re-emerge as a reliable low-end option in IDP leagues next season.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Good to go Week 17

    Cox (triceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants. Cox began the week as a limited practice participant, but he put in a full session Friday to avoid the questionable tag. The 29-year-old should play his usual role as the anchor of the Eagles' defense up front.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Full-go Wednesday

    Cox (undisclosed) was absent from Wednesday's injury report, suggesting he's fully healthy. Cox reportedly needed X-ray's on his hand following Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, but appears to have escaped any serious injury. Expect the veteran to assume his normal role in the middle of the defensive line for Sunday's game against Buffalo.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Needs X-ray after loss

    Cox needed to go in for an X-ray after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, Derrick Gunn of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Gunn believes the X-ray is on Cox's hand. Expect an update on the severity of the injury to come sometime before Philadelphia's Week 8 clash with the Bills.

  • Eagles' Fletcher Cox: Missing due to illness

    Cox was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice because of an illness. Cox played 52 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss at Minnesota and it's unclear how long he's been battling the illness. The 28-year-old has missed only three games over his eight-year career, so the illness seems unlikely to impact his availability for Week 7.
