Fletcher Cox missed practice last Wednesday for what the Eagles called “illness,” but it turns out he was involved in an altercation at his Mullica Hill home.

We heard details involving this incident, but Eagles PR ignored our request for comment and we couldn’t confirm with multiple South Jersey police departments, who didn’t return multiple phone calls.

But turns out this Twitter account sniffed out the story before anybody else:

6 ABC confirmed it last night with a story titled “Exclusive: Man arrested after violent altercation at home of Philadelphia Eagles DT Fletcher Cox,” writing the following:


Court documents obtained exclusively by Action News outline the details of a violent burglary that forced Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox to grab a shotgun, forcing the suspect to flee and lead police on a pursuit.

A blue tarp still covers the front door of Cox’s Mullica Hill, New Jersey home.

The incident happened last week.

According to court records, Corbyn Nyemah showed up at Cox’s house looking for his ex-girlfriend. Nyemah allegedly damaged her vehicle before attempting to forcibly enter the home by throwing rocks through the front door.

Police caught up to Nyemah on the Commodore Barry Bridge.

Action News reporter Chad Pradelli later tracked down the guy:

The ex-girlfriend was granted a restraining order and Nyemah is expected in court later in October. We were told that an additional police presence was granted to the girlfriend’s family after Nyemah’s car was spotted near their neighborhood.

Nyemah is a former East Stroudsburg football player and an All-Delco honorable mention in football and baseball at Chichester High School. His Instagram features a few photos of him wearing Dallas Cowboys gear:

You may recall that Cox was the “focus of a 2017 lawsuit” that alleged he ended a marriage between a North Carolina man and woman after text messages from Cox were discovered. In them, Cox told the woman he wanted to get her pregnant.
