The Eagles restructured Sweat's contract ahead of the 2024 season Friday, Cayden Steele of NJ.com reports. The 26-year-old defensive end's restructured contract allows him to make up to $13 million in 2024, with $10 million guaranteed, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Sweat saw a dip in production last season compared to the previous two years, but he was still fairly impactful nonetheless. The Florida State product appeared in all 17 of the Eagles' regular-season outings, logging 43 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks. Sweat is expected to remain one of the most productive players on Philadelphia's defense in 2024.

Sweat finished his sixth NFL season with 6.5 sacks (second-best on the Eagles) and 43 tackles in 17 regular-season games. Sweat was a larger part of the Eagles' defensive end rotation this season, as his 71 percent snap share was a big jump over his 56 percent mark from last season. His numbers took a step back despite the extra opportunities, however, as he couldn't come close to matching his 11.0 sacks from 2022. That's largely due to a late-season slump, as Sweat had 5.5 sacks through nine games but didn't manage another until Week 18.

Sweat isn't listed on the Eagles' injury report Tuesday. Sweat was sidelined for the regular-season finale due to a neck injury he suffered in Week 17, but the Eagles' wild-card bye proved beneficial. The veteran defensive end's omission from the injury report suggests he's put the issue behind him and should be full go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Giants. Sweat posted a career-high 11 sacks this season and is a key piece of Philadelphia's vaunted defensive front.

Sweat (neck) is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis after being released from the hospital Sunday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Coach Nick Sirianni didn't offer much information regarding Sweat's recovery Monday, but the defensive lineman recently said on Twitter that he plans to return prior to the end of the season. His status for Sunday's game against the Giants will likely come into focus based on how much he's able to practice this week.

Sweat recorded six tackles (five solo), including two sacks, during Sunday's 25-20 win over Chicago. Sweat continued his hot streak of bringing down opposing quarterbacks, recording both of his sacks on just one drive in the fourth quarter. The fifth-year defensive end has been a key component of the Eagles' top-ranked pass rush, recording a career-high 9.5 sacks over 14 games this season as well as six over the last four weeks. Sweat should have a chance to continue adding to this impressive total as the Cowboys are forced to devote attention across the Eagles' deep defensive line.
