PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles will be without edge rusher Bryce Huff for the foreseeable future.

Huff will undergo a procedure on his left wrist Thursday, NFL sources said. The hope is Huff will be able to return to play toward the end of the regular season.

Huff, whom the Eagles signed to a $51.1 million contract this offseason, injured his wrist in warmups before the Eagles hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 3. Huff played just six snaps during that game, the majority on Jacksonville's final drive. He then played 12 snaps in a blowout win in Dallas before playing 14 last week vs. Washington. During those games, Huff wore a cast that limited the movement of his fingers.

That, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said, was limiting Huff's playing time.

"On the less obvious downs, it just makes sense to put a guy in there that's 100 percent," Fangio said last week.

The Eagles are hopeful the procedure gets Huff back to 100% in time to make an impact at the end of the season. But even prior to the injury, Huff was having trouble acclimating to Fangio's system and did not look like the pass-rushing threat the Eagles thought they acquired, one who tallied a career-high 10 sacks with the New York Jets last season.

Despite Huff's struggles, the Eagles have still gotten production from their edge rushers, particularly from Josh Sweat and Nolan Smith.
