Eagles DC Vic Fangio Admits He Was Caught Off Guard by Za’Darius Smith’s Retirement

Fangio admitted he was “surprised” to learn from GM Howie Roseman that Smith was retiring mid-season, calling it a “personal decision” he respects. With Smith gone and LB Nolan Smith on IR, Fangio plans to rotate Josh Uche, Azeez Ojulari, Jalyx Hunt, and Patrick Johnson to cover the lost snaps ahead of the away trip to Minnesota in Week 7.
