Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat missed most of Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints after injuring his neck in the first quarter.

Sweat was injured while making a tackle on Saints fullback Adam Prentice and he was put on a stretcher after several minutes of medical attention on the field. He was loaded onto a cart and then taken to a Philadelphia hospital.

Sweat will be released from a local hospital on Sunday evening, the Eagles said. This is good news after an extremely scary scene at Lincoln Financial Field earlier in the afternoon. The Eagles lost to the Saints 20-10.
