Zach Baun leaves Eagles-Giants game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun exited Sunday's game against the New York Giants due to a back injury. Baun suffered the injury shortly after halftime following a hard hit on quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who also briefly exited with a hip issue. Baun was evaluated in the medical tent before going inside for X-rays and was deemed questionable to return.

Prior to leaving the contest, Baun led the Eagles' defense with seven total tackles, including three tackles for loss and two sacks. Linebacker Smael Mondon entered the lineup in his place as the Eagles head into their bye week.
