Eagles' Fletcher Cox Used Shotgun to Stop Attempted Burglary by Corbyn Nyemah

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox used a shotgun to prevent a man from breaking into his home last week, according to court records.

Per 6 ABC Action News in Philadelphia, Corbyn Nyemah attempted to forcibly enter Cox's Mullica Hill, New Jersey, home while looking for his ex-girlfriend. Nyemah was holding a bat and throwing rocks through the front door, which prompted Cox to arm himself with a shotgun and call police.

Nyemah fled the scene in his vehicle, but he was arrested late last week and then released on bond.
