Cox suffered the injury during the team's Week 12 win over the Bills and then proceeded to log DNPs throughout the week leading up to Sunday. His ability to suit up should be good news for the Eagles' defensive front.
The veteran defensive lineman suffered a groin injury during Philadelphia's Week 12 win over the Bills, and even after going the entire week without practicing, he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If Cox is unavailable for Week 13, Milton Williams would likely see more work on the Eagles' defensive line.
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.
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.
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.
