Not the start that the Philadelphia Eagles were hoping for.
Not only did they give up a touchdown on their opening drive, but they also lost defensive end Josh Sweat after he suffered what appeared to be a scary leg injury.
While making a tackle during a first quarter play, Sweat appeared to get his leg rolled up on in a awkward fashion. He was see banging the ground with his fist in pain, as he laid on the ground for several minutes before being carted off the field.
The Eagles players were clearly concerned about their teammate. This looks like an injury that could keep Sweat out for a while, if not the rest of the season and playoffs.
***UPDATE***
The latest reports indicate Sweat suffered a neck injury and was taken to a local hospital.
