The rise of Jalyx Hunt?
As the season rolls along, Philly’s rookies are making a greater and greater impact. Here is what to look for in the Eagles’ showdown with the Rams.
The rookie defensive backs take on the Rams dynamic receivers
The Rams have one of the best receiving duos in the league with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. When they’re healthy, the Los Angeles passing game is very, very dangerous. Luckily, the Eagles have two excellent rookie cornerbacks to match up. Cooper DeJean will probably see a ton of Kupp in the slot while Mitchell will see both receivers lined up outside. Slowing these two will be crucial to get the Eagles their ninth win of the season.
Is Jalyx Hunt due for a breakout game?
Bryce Huff will likely be out for multiple games after getting wrist surgery. While Huff wasn’t playing a ton of snaps, this does create more opportunities for Philly’s promising young pass rusher.
We got a peek at Hunt’s ability in the Cowboys game and he flashed. Now he has a chance to show even more as the Eagles must go deeper into their pass rush rotation.
