Okoronkwo’s torn triceps would push the Eagles’ edge depth toward a breaking point, likely forcing Ojulari into a bigger role while Smith, Hunt and Johnson absorb more snaps. With Nolan Smith already on IR, Sunday’s matchup with Denver becomes a pivotal test for the rotation and for any external help Howie Roseman might pursue.

The group has produced minimal pressure this season (five sacks total), and Vic Fangio’s preference for four edge rushers active on game day sharpens the urgency to find a workable mix. If Okoronkwo is out, Ojulari’s involvement bills as a key fantasy lever for the week ahead and beyond.

Okoronkwo's injury self-destructs Eagles' edge depth, leaving Philadelphia to lean on Sweat, Barnett, and a debuting Ojulari while Za'Darius Smith arrives to stabilize the unit. Nolan Smith remains out, with the injury toll mounting as the team remains undefeated at 4-0. The Bucs game exposed vulnerabilities that could shape rush plans the rest of the season, especially against tougher offenses.

Fantasy managers should watch edge rotations closely as Ojulari earns reps and Smith integration progresses. If the veteran proves effective early, the Eagles' sack upside could rise in select matchups, even as depth remains a concern and the team navigates a demanding schedule.
