• Eagles' Zack Baun: Exits league's concussion protocol

  Rotowire Oct 9, 2026

  Baun (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Baun logged a full practice Friday and passed an evaluation from an independent neurologist, which is enough for the seventh-year pro to exit the NFL's concussion protocol and return from a one-game absence. His return means Jeremiah Trotter will likely revert to a rotational role at linebacker behind Baun and Jihaad Campbell.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Sidelined against Rams

  Rotowire Oct 2, 2026

  Baun (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game against the Rams. Baun suffered a concussion in the loss to the Bears in Week 3.

  Rotowire Oct 1, 2026

  Baun (concussion) did not practice Thursday. Baun sustained a concussion in the loss to the Bears in Week 3.

  Rotowire Sep 30, 2026

  Baun (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Baun suffered a concussion in the Eagles' Week 3 loss to the Bears.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Set to lead defense

  Rotowire Jul 30, 2026

  Coach Vic Fangio says Baun will sport the green dot for the Eagles' defense during the 2026 season, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Nakobe Dean was the primary on-field playcaller for the Eagles' defense in 2025, an honor that now belongs to Baun. The 2024 first-team All-Pro and 2025 Pro Bowler was ranked No. 45 on the NFL's Top 100 players of 2026 and will carry the responsibility associated with that as the Eagles attempt to reach a third Super Bowl in five years.

  Rotowire Dec 9, 2025

Among those tackles was an assisted sack shared with Jordan Davis. Baun hadn't recorded a sack or half-sack since Week 8 prior to Monday, but he's been a strong IDP asset with 104 tackles (including 3.5 sacks) and six defensed passes (including an interception) through 13 contests.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Dealing with hand injury

  Rotowire Dec 4, 2025

  Baun (hand) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The issue appears to be new for the inside linebacker, though his ability to practice might be a sign that it's nothing significant. Baun has played on nearly defensive snap this season for Philadelphia, recording 96 total tackles (51 solo), including 3.0 sacks, six passes defensed, including an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. If he ultimately can't suit up versus Los Angeles, Jihaad Campbell could be in line to see more snaps in Monday's night's game.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Solid outing in loss

  Rotowire Nov 24, 2025

  Baun recorded nine total tackles (three solo), one pass defensed and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys. The 28-year-old led Philadelphia's defense in total tackles for the fifth game in a row during Sunday's loss, bringing his season total to 88 stops through 11 contests. However, Baun hasn't logged double-digit tackles since the Eagles' Week 7 win over the Vikings. Even so, he's expected to remain a valuable IDP option in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears on Friday.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Logs third sack of 2025

  Rotowire Oct 27, 2025

  Baun tallied six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses during the Eagles' 38-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Baun has logged at least six tackles in each of the first eight games of the regular season, and his 64 tackles on the year leads the Eagles and is tied for 11th most in the NFL.

  Rotowire Oct 10, 2025

• Eagles' Zack Baun: DNP due to knee issue

  Rotowire Sep 24, 2025

  Baun didn't practice Wednesday, as he's dealing with a knee injury. Baun was wearing a knee brace Wednesday, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, but it's unclear how serious his knee issue is at the moment. The talented linebacker has played nearly every defensive snap for the Eagles through three weeks and has racked up 22 tackles and one interception, so it would be a big blow to the Eagles' defense if he needs to miss any time. Baun's practice status the remainder of the week should provide more clarity about whether he's at any risk of missing Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Returns to practice

  Rotowire Aug 9, 2025

  Baun (back) will be a limited participant in Saturday's training camp practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports. Baun has been sidelined with a back contusion since late July, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity. If he can increase his practice reps over the coming week, that would put him in a good spot to suit up for the Eagles' second preseason game against the Browns on Saturday, Aug. 16. Baun signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the Eagles in March after a career year in 2024, finishing with 151 tackles (93 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (one interception), five forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Eagles' leading tackler in win

  Rotowire Oct 28, 2024

  Baun recorded 12 tackles (eight solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's 37-17 win at Cincinnati. Baun's forced fumble came late in the fourth quarter and was recovered by fellow linebacker Nakobe Dean to essentially put Sunday's win on ice. He's in the midst of a career year and is a great IDP option going into a Week 9 showdown versus the Jaguars.

• Eagles' Zack Baun: Returns to practice Thursday

  Rotowire Oct 24, 2024

  Baun (shoulder) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. Baun injured his shoulder during Sunday's game against the Giants, which kept him out of Wednesday's practice. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, however, as Baun was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, the 2020 third-round pick should be good to go against the Bengals on Sunday. Baun leads the Eagles with 57 combined tackles through the first six games of the regular season.
