The Eagles may need an edge rusher after Bruce Huff doesn’t play much.

Eaglesleading 10-0, having just been crushed by the Jacksonville Jaguars midway through the second quarter, the defense retreated to the bench to get some rest and talk about the series. At one end of the bench are edge rushers. Brandon GrahamNolan Smith and Josh Sweet were chatting together and formed a semicircle of sorts.

To Sweat’s right, looking forward and away from the conversation, stood Bryce Huff. At this point, Jacksonville had played 15 games and Huff had yet to take the field. As the Jaguars charged, Huff stood on the sideline with his helmet on his head. The Eagles didn’t call his number until there were less than four minutes left in the first half, and he pressured Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence with an incomplete pass on his first snap.

Coach Eagles Nick Sirianni said after his team’s victory with a score of 28-23 that Huff was dealing with an injury suffered before the game.

“His arm was bothering him and after warm-ups he was getting treatment in the locker room and we were trying to protect him there,” Sirianni said of Huff’s limited use.

After his only first-half hiccup, Huff didn’t appear to be on the field again until the final drive in Jacksonville. He finished the game with just six snaps.

Huff declined to speak after the game when approached by a pair of reporters, saying he would talk “later this week.”

Injured or not, Huff was not the player the Eagles expected when they signed him to a three-year, $51.1 million deal this offseason, hoping he could be an all-around player and fill in performance they will eventually lose when they sell Haason Reddick. He totaled just a sack and a half on Sunday after recording a career-high 10 sacks last season. And he entered Sunday’s game having played more than 50% of the defensive snaps in the game just twice. He played just 38% of the snaps in last week’s win at Cincinnati.

Sunday was even more exciting because of what was to come. The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, and the Eagles could consider getting some help in the pass rush, even as their four-game winning streak coincides with a revitalized pass rush.

On Sunday, the defense posted five sacks against the Cleveland Browns, eight against the New York Giants, one against the Bengals and two. The Browns and Giants struggled to block most of the fronts they faced. The Jaguars, like the Bengals, are in the middle of the league in sacks, but were missing several linemen by the end of Sunday’s game.

If the Eagles are a team with serious Super Bowl ambitions, it is not yet clear whether they have a pass rush worthy of competing with the best teams in the league.

“I think our group is good, man,” said edge rusher Josh Sweat, who had both sacks Sunday and leads the Eagles with five. “I’m obviously not going to come up and say we should get this or that. The way we get together is, of course, something special. We have no weak links—our twos and threes are especially gaining strength.”

But Sweet said he knows he can’t control the general manager. Howie Roseman does. “Whatever they do, that’s what they do,” Sweet said.

Some possible trade candidates have already been moved. Kansas City traded for New England’s Josh Uche. Detroit is expected to acquire Cleveland’s Za’Darius Smith. Other players such as Chase Young (New Orleans Saints) and Azeez Ojulari (Giants) may also be available.

Sweat said the addition of a new edge rusher doesn’t bother him.

“I’m trying to win,” he said. “I don’t care. In the end, this will help us too. Lift it (butt) double, let me go free.”

Sweat said he thought the Eagles could have had more sacks against Jacksonville, but they “started making mistakes later.”

As for Huff, Sweet said, “He was under pressure. He almost got that bag. I don’t know what his plan was. I’m sure there’s a reason (he didn’t play much). I just leave it up to them. I’m pretty sure we’ll put him back there for a while longer, but I don’t know what’s going on. He staged his plays when there was time for him.”
