Baun (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. Baun and other Eagles starters were able to rest during practice this week since Philadelphia is already locked in as the NFC's No. 2 seed. The 2020 third-round pick will end his first regular season in Philadelphia with 151 tackles (93 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), five forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 games. With Nakobe Dean (abdomen) also sitting Sunday, Jeremiah Trotter and Oren Burks will likely start at inside linebacker while Dallas Gant serves in a rotational role.
Baun (rest) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants. With the Eagles already having the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs locked up, they are likely to rest a vast majority of their starters, including Baun, Jalen Carter (rest), Darius Slay (rest) and Nakobe Dean (rest). Baun had a remarkable first season in Philadelphia, entering Week 18 with the fourth-most tackles in the NFL (151). Jeremiah Trotter and Oren Burks are expected to serve as the Eagles' top inside linebacker duo in Week 18, with both Baun and Dean listed as doubtful.
Baun recorded seven total tackles (one solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Cowboys. The Wisconsin product had recorded 10 or more total tackles in three of his last four games before Sunday's blowout win. However, Baun still finished second on the Eagles' defense in stops, trailing Oren Burks' eight-tackle effort. Baun, a first-year Eagle, has now tallied 151 total tackles (fourth-most in the NFL), including 3.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and four passes defended while appearing in all 16 of Philadelphia's games this season. The Eagles may rest Baun in the Week 18 matchup against the Giants, having already secured the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoff picture.
Baun recorded 11 total tackles (seven solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders. The Wisconsin product has recorded 11 or more tackles in four of his last six games, brining his season total up to 145 stops, which ranks third-best in the NFL. Baun has put together an incredible season in his first year with the Eagles, leading the team in total tackles and forced fumbles (five) through 15 games. He and Nakobe Dean form one of the NFL's best inside linebacker duos and are expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses as the season progresses.
Baun recorded 13 tackles (eight solo) including 0.5 sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore. Baun added another stellar performance to his spectacular season Sunday, logging double-digit tackles for the sixth time this year. He's fourth in the league in tackles (118) going into a Week 14 matchup versus the Panthers.
Baun recorded 15 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defensed during Thursday's 26-18 win versus the Commanders. Baun was on the field for all 63 of Philadelphia's defensive snaps in Week 11, and he managed his highest tackle total since Week 1. Only four players have more total tackles this season than Baun (102) as he prepares for a Week 12 tilt against the Rams.
Baun recorded eight total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys. Baun led the Eagles' defense in total tackles for the third consecutive game Sunday, bringing his season total up to 81 stops. The first-year Eagle has already doubled his previous season high in tackles through nine games this season, also tying his previous bests in sacks (2.0) and passes passes defended (two). Expect Baun to continue making plays for Philadelphia's defense as the year progresses.
Baun recorded 10 tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for a loss, two passes defensed and an interception in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars. The starting middle linebacker also played on 98 percent of the defensive snaps. Baun, who signed a one-year, $1.6-million deal with the Eagles in March, already has a career-high 79 tackles (52 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in 2024.
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.
