Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat will miss the team's wild-card game against the Buccaneers on Sunday after undergoing an emergency procedure to address "a life-threatening situation," the team announced.
Sweat had been listed on the team's injury report this week with an illness. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said earlier this week that Sweat had an abdominal problem.
While Sweat was spotted yesterday at the team's hotel ahead of Sunday's game, the team's medical staff determined that he wasn't ready to return.
"On Tuesday night, Josh Sweat was admitted to the hospital," the Eagles said in a statement.
