Baun (hand) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session.
The issue appears to be new for the inside linebacker, though his ability to practice might be a sign that he's ok. Baun has played on nearly defensive snap this season for Philadelphia, recording 96 total tackles (51 solo), including 3.0 sacks, six passes defensed, including an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. If he can't go, Jihaad Campbell could be in line to see more snaps in Monday's game against the Chargers.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Registers eight stops in defeat
Rotowire
Baun totaled eight tackles (three solo) Friday in a Week 13 loss to Chicago.
Baun finished the game as the Eagles' fourth-leading tackler. He's been very consistent in that category this season, logging at least six tackles in each of Philadelphia's first 12 contests. That gives Baun a very reliable IDP floor.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Solid outing in loss
Rotowire
Baun recorded nine total tackles (three solo), one pass defensed and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
The 28-year-old led Philadelphia's defense in total tackles for the fifth game in a row during Sunday's loss, bringing his season total to 88 stops through 11 contests.

Even so, he's expected to remain a valuable IDP option in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears on Friday.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Practices Thursday
Rotowire
Baun (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Baun returned to practice after missing Wednesday's session due to a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Eagles' Week 3 win over the Rams. His practice participation Friday will indicate his chances of playing in Sunday's road tilt against the Buccaneers. The 2020 third-rounder has registered 22 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses (one interception) through the first three games of the regular season.

Eagles' Zack Baun: DNP due to knee issue
Rotowire
Baun didn't practice Wednesday, as he's dealing with a knee injury.
Baun was wearing a knee brace Wednesday, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, but it's unclear how serious his knee issue is at the moment. The talented linebacker has played nearly every defensive snap for the Eagles through three weeks and has racked up 22 tackles and one interception, so it would be a big blow to the Eagles' defense if he needs to miss any time. Baun's practice status the remainder of the week should provide more clarity about whether he's at any risk of missing Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Baun (back) will be a limited participant in Saturday's training camp practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Baun has been sidelined with a back contusion since late July, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity. If he can increase his practice reps over the coming week, that would put him in a good spot to suit up for the Eagles' second preseason game against the Browns on Saturday, Aug. 16. Baun signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the Eagles in March after a career year in 2024, finishing with 151 tackles (93 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (one interception), five forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Dealing with back contusion
Rotowire
Baun (back) will not practice Tuesday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Baun will log his first absence of training camp due to a back injury, paving the way for rookie first-round pick Jihaad Campbell to handle increased first-team reps. Fresh off a career year in which he tallied 151 total tackles (93 solo), including 3.5 sacks, across 16 regular-season games, Baun returned to Philadelphia via a three-year, $51 million contract this offseason and is primed to repeat as a premier IDP option at linebacker for 2025. As such, it will be no surprise if the Eagles opt to take a cautious approach to the 28-year-old's health at this stage of the summer.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Eagles' leading tackler in win
Rotowire
Baun recorded 12 tackles (eight solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's 37-17 win at Cincinnati.
Baun's forced fumble came late in the fourth quarter and was recovered by fellow linebacker Nakobe Dean to essentially put Sunday's win on ice. He's in the midst of a career year and is a great IDP option going into a Week 9 showdown versus the Jaguars.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Baun (shoulder) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session.
Baun injured his shoulder during Sunday's game against the Giants, which kept him out of Wednesday's practice. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, however, as Baun was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, the 2020 third-round pick should be good to go against the Bengals on Sunday. Baun leads the Eagles with 57 combined tackles through the first six games of the regular season.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Monster night in Brazil
Rotowire
Baun compiled 15 total tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Friday's 34-29 win over the Packers in Brazil.
Baun had quite the debut with the Eagles after signing with the team in March, leading Philadelphia in tackles. The 2.0 sacks matched his career total over his four years with New Orleans. With Devin White (ankle) unavailable, Baun took on some added workload at interior linebacker and made the most of his opportunity.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Working with first team
Rotowire
Baun worked with Philadelphia's first-team defense for the fourth day in a row Monday, Brandon Lee Gowton of BGN Radio reports.
Baun agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles earlier this offseason, and it now appears that he's got a real chance to start at inside linebacker. The 2020 third-round pick out of Wisconsin started just 14 games during his four seasons in New Orleans, but it seems that he is winning the positional battle against Nakobe Dean and could be lining up alongside Devin White in the Eagles' linebacker corps in 2024.
