2026 NFL Mock Draft: Edge Rushers Dominate Top 5; Mahomes, Jackson, Allen Get New WRs

New career high in sacks Sweat recorded 30 tackles, including 12.0 sacks, four forced fumbles, two pass defenses (no interceptions) and one fumble recovery in 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact After totaling 43.0 sacks in 104 regular-season contests to begin his career with the Eagles, Sweat parlayed his first chance at unrestricted free agency last March into a four-year, $76.4 million contract. The 28-year-old responded with a career-high sack tally, which tied for eighth most in the NFL along with the Texans' Will Anderson and Rams' Byron Young. Despite his success as a pass rusher, Sweat otherwise was lacking in counting stats, which dampened his IDP relevance.

All set for season finale Sweat (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Impact Sweat was considered questionable to play after missing the team's first two practices of the week before logging a limited session Friday due to ankle and knee injuries, but he's now going to give it a go in Week 18. The defensive end has produced 28 total tackles (19 solo), including 11.0 sacks, while also adding four forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and two passes defensed over 16 contests so far in his first campaign with Arizona.

Questionable for Week 18 Sweat (ankle) is listed as questionable against the Rams on Sunday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Sweat missed the first two practices of Week 18 prep due to ankle and knee injuries, but he earned the questionable tag for Sunday's regular-season finale after logging a limited practice Friday. He was able to play through the injuries against the Bengals in Week 17, though he was limited to just 24 defensive snaps. If Sweat doesn't play or operates under a snap count, then Dante Stills and Jordan Burch would be in line for more snaps on the Cardinals' defensive line.

DNP to open Week 18 prep Sweat (ankle/knee) did not practice Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Sweat did not practice during Week 17 prep due to ankle and knee injuries but was still cleared to play against the Bengals, when he logged one tackle while playing 24 defensive snaps. He's opened Week 18 prep with a DNP but may need to practice in order to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams. If Sweat ends up sitting out, then Dante Stills and Jordan Burch would be poised to see more snaps at defensive end.

Good to go Week 17 Sweat (ankle/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Sweat was held out of practice all week due to ankle and knee injuries, and despite the lack of Week 17 reps, the veteran defensive end has been given the green light to play Sunday. He has tied a career high with 11.0 sacks through 15 regular-season games, and he has two more opportunities to set a new career best.

Questionable despite no practice Sweat (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

Impact Sweat was held out of practice all week due to ankle and knee injuries, but the Cardinals are still giving the veteran pass rusher a chance to play Week 17. His status may not be officially known until the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Sweat doesn't play, then Dante Stills and Jordan Burch would be in line for more snaps on the defensive line.

Sits out Wednesday's practice Sweat (ankle) didn't participate in Arizona's practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

Impact Sweat is still dealing with the ankle injury he suffered during the Week 14 loss versus the Rams. Jordan Burch and Darius Robinson would see an uptick in playing time Sunday versus the Bengals if Sweat ends up being unable to play.

Ruled out Sunday Sweat (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

Impact Sweat briefly returned to the game after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half but is now officially done for the day. In his absence, Jordan Burch and Dante Stills should see increased playing time during the remainder of the matchup.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Sunday's game Sweat (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Sweat left early in the first quarter due to an ankle injury, but he was cleared to return in the second frame after being evaluated by medical staff. Jordan Burch and Dante Stills will revert to rotational roles on the defensive line now that Sweat is back in the game.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with ankle injury Week 16 Sweat (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Sweat was hurt early in the first quarter and left the field with trainers. He's since been deemed questionable to return. Sweat has been a central part of the Cardinals' pass rush with 11.0 sacks on the season, which has tied his career-high mark.
