The Eagles have the NFL’s No. 1 defense, and their already dominant pass rush will be enhanced by Bryce Huff’s health for the postseason.
Philadelphia announced that the pass rusher has been activated from injured reserve for Sunday’s game against Dallas.
Huff was placed on IR after undergoing a procedure on his ailing wrist.

Huff was initially diagnosed with a hand injury that significantly limited his playing time in their win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Due to the issue, he only played a handful of snaps.
A major free agent acquisition who signed a three-year, $51 million contract last spring, Huff had appeared ten games, logging five tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, 11 quarterback hurries, one quarterback hit, and 14 quarterback pressures in 154 pass rush snaps for the Eagles before the injury.
With Huff struggling off the edge, Philadelphia relied on Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat, and Nolan Smith to provide pressure.
With Graham on IR, Huff could carve out a role behind Smith.
