Jaguars RE Jason Babin underwent groin surgery Tuesday, but is expected to be ready for training camp.
Groin surgery can sometimes mean a sports-hernia operation, but that doesn't appear to be the case here. Slated for the "Leo" role in coach Gus Bradley's hybrid 4-3, Babin is going to get plenty of opportunities to get after the quarterback during his age-33 season. In decline, however, he'll likely be much closer to the seven sacks he notched last season than the 18 he tallied in 2011. Jun 4 - 1:19 PM

Jason Babin - DL - Jaguars

Jaguars DL coach Todd Wash said Jason Babin will play the "Leo" role in 2013.

It's a critical position because it's often the only pure pass rusher on the field for early downs. Wash and Gus Bradley used Chris Clemons and Bruce Irvin to fill the job in Seattle last year and they combined to rack up 19.5 sacks. Babin figures to be far less productive as he's coming off a seven-sack season and is entering his age-33 campaign.

Jason Babin - DL - Jaguars

Newly signed DE Jason Babin started in his Jaguars debut Sunday.

Babin was claimed off waivers on Wednesday and immediately took the spot of the injured Austen Lane (foot). He ended up splitting time with George Selvie, recording four tackles, no sacks, no quarterback hits and one roughing the passer penalty. He's not going to save the Jags' miserable pass rush.

Coach Mike Mularkey said DE Jason Babin will play in Sunday's game against the Bills.

The 2-9 Jags aren't going to pay Babin $1.69 million over the final five games to ease him in. They are dead last in the league with just 13 sacks on the season. "It's a good pickup," Mularkey said. "He's had a lot of success over the last three years and we could use some help in that area. He'll fit what we're doing." Babin could even end up starting over Austen Lane, who is nursing a foot injury.

Jason Babin - DL - Jaguars

Jaguars claimed DE Jason Babin off waivers from the Eagles.

Jacksonville is second in the waiver claim order, so Babin didn't make it far. According to NFL.com, three teams placed claims, including the Bills and Redskins. The Jags are now on the hook for his remaining $1.69 million salary. Babin should immediately goose the league's worst pass rush, and will be auditioning for a roster spot in 2013. Babin is signed through 2015, but has no guaranteed money beyond 2012. Even if he's back in Jacksonville next season, it will almost certainly be on a renegotiated deal. The author of 36.5 sacks since 2010, Babin will turn 33 in May.

Jason Babin - DL - Jaguars

Beat writer Sean Jensen believes the Bears have interest in free agent DE Jason Babin.

Like many teams, the Bears may not want to put a claim in on Babin because they'd have to eat the remainder of his 2012 salary, roughly $1.8 million. But if he clears waivers at 4 p.m. today, expect a whole bunch of teams to get in on a guy one year removed from an 18-sack season. The Lions, who run the wide-nine scheme Babin prefers, could also show interest. The Ravens, Falcons, Colts and Browns are reportedly not interested.

Jason Babin - DL - Jaguars

Eagles waived DE Jason Babin.

The Phillies have won a game more recently than the Eagles, who are three points removed from a winless season. This move tells us the organization is turning the page on the 2012 season, seeking more playing time for Brandon Graham and 2012 second-rounder Vinny Curry. A Pro Bowler in 2010 and 2011 with 30.5 sacks, Babin has long been a liability against the run and was underwhelming as a pass rusher (5.5 sacks) this season. The Titans have moved on from their wide-9 scheme, but the Lions or Bengals could be interested in the 32-year-old. CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora expects the Ravens to "pounce" on Babin on the waiver wire.

The Philadelphia Inquirer expects Jason Babin to be released after the season.

Babin is owed $3.8 million in base salary in 2013 and has 3.5 sacks in nine games. He's a wide-nine player and wide-nine mastermind Jim Washburn is expected to be dismissed along with Andy Reid. The Eagles would be wise to get Brandon Graham as much playing time as possible over their final seven games.

Jason Babin - DL - Jaguars

Eagles LE Jason Babin had his playing time slashed to just 33-of-75 snaps in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Falcons.

Seven games into last season, Babin had nine sacks. This year, he has just 2.5 and the Eagles have seen enough. They decided to go with 2010 first-rounder Brandon Graham for long stretches at left end opposite Trent Cole. IDP owners that haven't moved on from Babin yet can certainly do so now.

The NFL has fined Eagles DE Jason Babin $15,750 for roughing Browns QB Brandon Weeden in last Sunday's game.

The NFL determined that Babin "unnecessarily" drove Weeden into the ground, according to a league spokesman. Babin was also fined for roughing the passer in October of last season.

Eagles LE Jason Babin (strained calf) returned to practice on Monday and is set to make his 2012 debut in Week 1 against the Browns.

"I'm about 98.9 [percent]," Babin said. The 2011 Pro Bowler was given a 2-3 week recovery timetable after sustaining the injury on July 28, so he missed a little over five weeks. He'll welcome rookies RT Mitchell Schwartz and QB Brandon Weeden to the NFL on Sunday.

Eagles coach Andy Reid confirmed that Jason Babin (strained calf) is expected to suit up for the team's Week 1 game in Cleveland.

Babin was given a two-to-three recovery timetable after suffering the strain in late July. It appears that he hasn't suffered a setback and will line up opposite Trent Cole on September 9.

Eagles LE Jason Babin's strained calf will sideline him 2-3 weeks, but he's expected to be ready for Week 1.

Babin is dealing with a second-degree strain. The 2-3 week timeline has him iffy for the Eagles' second and third preseason games — which are just four days apart on August 20 and 24 — but it's still possible Babin will end up missing only one exhibition tilt. It shouldn't be a major issue for a player who's averaged 15.5 sacks the past two seasons, playing all 32 games in the process.

Eagles LE Jason Babin doesn't figure to practice at all this week due to a calf strain.

Babin's calf strain was overshadowed a bit by WR Riley Cooper's broken collarbone on Saturday, but the good news is that it's unrelated to his Achilles' and shouldn't keep him out much longer than the next week. Babin signed a five-year, $28 million contract with the Eagles one year ago yesterday.

Jason Babin - DL - Jaguars

Eagles DE Jason Babin has canceled plans to participate in the annual "Running of the Bulls" in Pamplona, Spain this July.

It sounds like Babin was reminded of a clause or two in his contract. A natural in Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn's "wide nine" formation, Babin is looking to tally 13 or more sacks for the third straight season.
