The Eagles could be without their best pass rusher until at least the start of the regular season, as Haason Reddick is scheduled to have surgery on his injured thumb.
#Eagles LB Haason Reddick is having surgery on his injury thumb, an NFL source confirmed @RapSheet report.
He suffered the injury in Monday’s practice with the Browns. The team hopes to have him back by the start of the season.

Reddick logged 16 sacks during the regular season and another 3.5 during the run toward the Super Bowl, and he’s without question one of the best edge rushers in football.
Rookie linebacker Nolan Smith should pick up some of the slack with Reddick out, and he’ll see an increase in snaps at the defensive end and SAM linebacker spot.
