Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. Carter and a number of other starters were limited or held out of practice this week since the Eagles are locked in as the No. 2 seed in the NFC heading into the postseason. The 2023 first-round pick will finish his second NFL campaign with 42 tackles (25 solo), including 4.5 sacks, six pass defenses and two forced fumbles across 16 regular-season games. Thomas Booker and Moro Ojomo will see more snaps with the first-team defense Sunday due to Carter's absence.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. Carter and a number of other starters were limited or held out of practice this week since the Eagles are locked in as the No. 2 seed in the NFC heading into the postseason. The 2023 first-round pick will finish his second NFL campaign with 42 tackles (25 solo), including 4.5 sacks, six pass defenses and two forced fumbles across 16 regular-season games. Thomas Booker and Moro Ojomo will see more snaps with the first-team defense Sunday due to Carter's absence.
Carter (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday. The defensive tackle was a limited participant Wednesday after appearing on the injury report with the shoulder issue. Carter played on 90 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps in last week's win over the Panthers, logging three solo tackles. The second-year pro has yet to miss a game all year, and he appears on track to play again this Sunday against the Steelers.
Carter was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. It's not clear when Carter suffered the injury, as he logged his usual large workload (90 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps) this past Sunday against Carolina. There's been no word that he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, but it bears monitoring Carter's practice participation the rest of the week. If Carter were to miss any time, Thomas Booker could be asked to take on more defensive work.
Carter recorded four tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore. The extent of Carter's impact in Week 13 doesn't fully register in the box score, as he was hurrying passes and hitting ball carriers in the background all evening. He demonstrated remarkable stamina as well, playing 70 of the Eagles' 71 defensive snaps Sunday. Though not necessarily on the IDP radar, he remains one of the best defensive linemen in football going into Week 14.
Carter recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants. Carter played a season high 96-percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps in Week 7 and it lead to his best performance of the season, sacking Daniel Jones in the second and third quarters of Sunday's win. The 2023 first-round pick out of Georgia has now tallied 14 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and three passes defended through Philadelphia's first six games. Expect Carter to continue serving as the Eagles' top interior defensive lineman as the team travels to Cincinnati in Week 8.
Carter (undisclosed) is back on the field for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. Carter briefly left Sunday's game due to cramping, but the 2023 first-round pick has returned to action.
Carter (undisclosed) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to cramping. It's unclear where Carter is cramping, but he will remain on the sidelines unless he can get that sorted out. Moro Ojomo and Thomas Booker are likely to see an uptick in snaps at defensive end opposite starter Milton Williams for as long as Carter is out of the game.
Carter left Sunday's game with one tackle and did not return. He got some testing done after the game and the results were good enough -- according to McLane -- for Carter to have a chance in playing in Week 9. His practice participation over the week will be something to monitor to see if he's in line to play.
Carter had one tackle and a QB hit before exiting Sunday's game. The Eagles still have Jordan Davis and Fletcher Cox starting in the defensive interior and Milton Williams is a candidate to get more defensive snaps in Carter's absence.
