Eagles' Jeremiah Trotter: Career day in Week 4
Rotowire
Trotter recorded 15 total tackles (10 solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams.
Trotter was a busy man Sunday, notching a career-high 15 takedowns in the defeat. The 23-year-old stepped into a starting role with Zach Baun (concussion) unavailable, and he was on the field for every one of Philadelphia's defensive snaps. If Baun remains sidelined in Week 5, Trotter would figure to have another productive day against the Jaguars in London.

Eagles' Jeremiah Trotter: Ready for Week 8
Rotowire
Trotter (ankle) does not carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants.
Trotter sustained an ankle injury during the Eagles' Week 7 win over the Vikings, which prevented him from returning to the contest. He was unable to practice Wednesday but increased his practice participation over the week and has been cleared to play in Week 8 after logging a full practice Friday. Trotter has mostly served on special teams this season, but his presence also gives the Eagles depth at inside linebacker.

Eagles' Jeremiah Trotter: Logs 25 tackles in 2024
Rotowire
Trotter recorded 25 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added five stops (four solo) across four postseason games.
Trotter played almost exclusively on special teams as a rookie. His only significant playing time on defense came in the 41-7 win against Dallas in Week 17 and the regular-season finale when the Eagles rested the majority of their starters. Meanwhile, veteran linebacker Oren Burks stepped into a starting role after Nakobe Dean suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in the wild-card win versus the Packers. With Burks and breakout All-Pro inside linebacker Zack Baun both slated to become unrestricted free agents this offseason, Trotter could be in line for more playing time as a sophomore in 2025.
