Uche dominated Week 1 as a pass-rush specialist, posting a 92.7 PFF grade and a 43.8% win rate on 19 rushing snaps, all in pass plays. His presence helps offset Sweat’s exit and signals high fantasy upside with a role concentrated on predictable passing downs.

Uche signed one-year with Philly, logging 19 snaps in the latest game. He provides pass-rush flexibility behind Smith, Ojulari and Okoronkwo, offering a potential breakout if he secures a steady role and capitalizes on favorable matchups.

Uche brings veteran LB presence to a defense reloading on the edge and inside, helping Philly replace multiple departed pieces. His presence should boost pass rush and run defense, improving the Eagles’ overall frontline efficiency in Week 1 against Dallas.

Joshua Uche, a talented linebacker, needs to showcase his skills in the upcoming preseason to secure a spot on the Eagles' roster. After a successful 2022 season, his recent inconsistency and mid-season trade to Kansas City put his future in question. His performance will be critical in an already strong Eagles defense.

The signing of Joshua Uche adds depth to the Eagles' linebacker core. His ability to play both inside and outside linebacker will provide versatility as the team adjusts to the departures.
