Zack Baun’s injury update is major Week 4 red flag Eagles can’t afford to have

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun has entered the concussion protocol and did not participate in practice ahead of Week 4. The news follows Philadelphia's 20-point loss to the Chicago Bears, despite no in-game injury being previously reported. Baun has recorded 25 tackles and three pass deflections through the first three games of the season, making his potential absence against the Los Angeles Rams a significant concern.

Inside the Iggles argues that Baun's injury compounds defensive issues under coordinator Vic Fangio, specifically citing coverage struggles from Jihaad Campbell. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is in line to start if Baun is ruled out. The article also highlights that the defense is managing other physical setbacks, including Jalen Carter playing through a fractured wrist, as well as lingering issues for Cooper DeJean and Andrew Mukuba.
