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.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.
