Brings end to productive career
Cox announced Sunday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional football. A 2012 first-round draft pick, Cox spent his entire 12-year career in Philadelphia. The 33-year-old was one of the standout defensive tackles of his era, earning six Pro Bowl nods and a spot on the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team. The Mississippi State product finished his career with 519 total tackles, 70 sacks, 16 forced fumbles, 14 fumble recoveries and three touchdowns over 188 regular-season contests.
Ruled out for game
Cox sustained a groin injury in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup and initially returned to action, but he was ruled out late in the fourth quarter. It's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his availability for next Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Returns against Buffalo
Cox left in the second quarter when he sustained a groin injury. Jalen Carter subbed in at defensive tackle for Cox and the latter's return should help bolster the Eagles' defensive front.
Leaves game with groin injury
Cox sustained the injury on a pass rush in the second quarter and did not have a tackle before leaving Sunday's game. In Cox's absence, 2023 first-round pick Jalen Carter should step in at defensive tackle alongside starter Jordan Davis.
