Philadelphia Eagles place defensive end Derek Barnett, on injured reserve after he suffered a torn ACL in season opener at Detroit Lions

The Eagles are placing veteran defensive end Derek Barnett, on injured reserve after he suffered a torn ACL in the 38-35 season-opening win over the Lions.

On Tuesday, Philadelphia signed defensive end Janarius Robinson off the Vikings’ practice squad as a roster replacement.

Barnett re-signed to the Eagles on a two-year deal in free agency after logging 2.5 sacks in 2021.

7 free agent pass rushers the Eagles could consider after Derek Barnett suffers torn ACL

Seven free agent pass rushers the Philadelphia Eagles could consider after Derek Barnett suffers torn ACL

The Eagles are down a pass rusher after Nick Sirianni confirmed that Derek Barnett suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s win over the Lions.

Barnett, the Eagles’ 2017 first-round pick is out for the season after re-signing with the team on a two-year deal this offseason.

“Derek will be out and he tore his ACL, and obviously that’s a big blow for us,” Nick Sirianni said Monday. “I love the way Derek Barnett comes to work every single day and plays with grittiness and toughness and (plays) nasty. “I am a huge Derek Barnett fan and he’ll be missed, so that sucks. I hate that for him, I hate that for this team. I can’t tell you how much I think of Derek.”

Barnett exited the game midway through the third quarter and he’s among the top edge rushers in the league when it comes to applying pressure to opposing quarterbacks.

Philadelphia has Tarron Jackson on the roster and could elevate from within, but we’re provided seven free agent options as well.

Eagles DE Derek Barnett suffered a season ending torn ACL in 38-35 win over Lions

Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Derek Barnett suffered a torn ACL in the team’s Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions and will miss the 2022 season

The Eagles will be down one less pass rusher going forward, as Adam Schefter reports that Derek Barnett suffered a torn ACL during the season opener at Detroit.

Barnett limped off the field in the third quarter and was evaluated in a tent behind the sideline before exiting Ford Field.

Barnett re-signed with the Eagles on a two-year, $14 million deal this offseason after recording two sacks and 20 solo tackles.

Philadelphia has Tarron Jackson at the defensive end, and he’ll likely take Barnett’s reps at the edge rusher position.
