ESPN analyst predicts career-high sack total for Eagles edge rusher Jonathan Greenard

ESPN analyst Seth Walder expects Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to reach a new career high in sacks for the 2026 season. Walder projects Greenard to record at least 0.8 sacks per game, which would result in 13.6 sacks over a full 17-game schedule. This projection follows a 2025 season where Greenard recorded 3.0 sacks in 12 games for the Minnesota Vikings after a 12-sack campaign in 2024. The veteran pass rusher, who signed a $100 million contract extension with Philadelphia following a trade, has been sidelined throughout the summer due to a pec strain. His status for the Week 1 opener remains uncertain, though he has not been ruled out. Greenard is expected to play within a defensive line rotation featuring Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith Jr., and Jalyx Hunt under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
