Eagle on Thin Ice Still Not Making Progress Per Coaching Staff
The Philadelphia Eagles are sitting at 2-1 and have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next on the slate. They were able to bounce back in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints after a disappointing Week 2 loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons.
The Eagles made a long list of moves this offseason to improve the roster. But it's clear that every move hasn't worked out thus far.
EDGE Bryce Huff has had a shaky start to the 2024 season, and according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, the 26-year-old hasn't done enough to earn more snaps.
Vic Fangio on Bryce Huff: "Much the same as it has been. He'll be mixed in there along with the rest of the guys. We’ve got five guys dressed and we’re mixing four of them. It’s going to pretty much be the same, I think."

Eagles News: Philadelphia Plans on Keeping Defensive Line as Is in Week 4
On Tuesday, Fangio was asked about Huff's play and how the defensive line rotation will shake out.
Fangio responded, "Much the same as it has been. He'll be mixed in there along with the rest of the guys. We’ve got five guys dressed and we’re mixing four of them. It’s going to pretty much be the same, I think."
Huff has been very underwhelming to begin the year. The Memphis product has recorded just one tackle and an overall grade of 53.2 per PFF.
Last week, Huff played in a season-low 18 snaps. Milton Williams (37), Brandon Graham (35), Josh Sweat (34), and Nolan Smith (21) all had more reps than Huff.
And with Fangio's comments on Tuesday, this is something that will continue going forward. When Philadelphia gave Huff a three-year, $51 million in March, they didn't expect things to unfold like this.
There's still a lot of football left to be played but Huff has gotten off to a terrible start with the Eagles.
