Jalen Carter - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to practice Wednesday Carter (shoulders) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact This was Carter's first practice in any capacity since he underwent procedures on both shoulders the week of Dec. 1. The expectation this week has been that Carter will be able to return to action Sunday against Buffalo, and he is certainly trending that way with his full practice Wednesday. If Carter does manage to suit up against the Bills, Byron Young -- who has 2.5 sacks in the three contests during Carter's absence -- could see less defensive snaps.

Likely to return in Week 17 The Eagles are expected to have Carter (shoulders) available for their Week 17 game next Sunday in Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact While continuing to rehab from procedures on both of his shoulders, Carter was sidelined for a third straight game in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders. The third-year defensive tackle didn't practice in any fashion leading up to Saturday's contest, but the Eagles apparently anticipate him making enough progress in his recovery program to put an end to his absence in Week 17. If Carter is able to make it back for the matchup with the Bills, Byron Young would likely move back into a smaller role along Philadelphia's defensive line.

Will not play Saturday Carter (shoulders) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Commanders.

Impact Carter hasnt played since Week 13 after having surgery on both of his shoulders in early December. With the 24-year-old still week-to-week, Byron Young will continue to have an expanded role on the defensive line for the third game in a row.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP Carter (shoulder) was estimated as a DNP on Tuesday's practice report.

Impact Carter continues to recover from surgery on both of his shoulders that he underwent in early December. That has caused him to miss the Eagles' last two games, so he's unlikely to play in Saturday's NFC East tilt against the Commanders unless he's cleared to return to practice over the next two days. Byron Young and rookie fourth-rounder Ty Robinson will continue to see expanded roles on the Eagles' defensive line for as long as Carter is sidelined.

Ruled out again Carter (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Carter was unable to practice this week, making it consecutive weeks on the bench for the defensive lineman. Byron Young will likely continue to see an increased snap share at defensive tackle in the 2023 first-rounder's absence.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

DNP again Thursday Carter (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Carter was unable to upgrade his participation level for Thursday's practice after being unavailable for Wednesday's walkthrough. The defensive tackle missed his second game of the season last Monday, a game the Eagles lost to the Chargers in overtime. Carter will have just one more chance to upgrade his practice participation, and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders without such an upgrade. If the Georgia product is unable to play, Byron Young will continue to see more defensive snaps.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

DNP to open week Carter (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Carter sat out of the Eagles' 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers on Monday after undergoing procedures on both of his shoulders in the early stages of Week 14 prep. The third-year defensive lineman is considered week-to-week, but unless he practices in at least a limited capacity over the next two days, he's unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Byron Young will continue to see more defensive snaps for as long as Carter is sidelined.

Will not play Monday The Eagles have ruled out Carter (shoulder) for Week 14.

Impact Carter did not participate in practice this week after undergoing procedures on both of his shoulders Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He also reported the third-year pro is currently considered week-to-week and is expected to be ready in time for a possible playoff run. The 24-year-old has 32 tackles (20 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses. Byron Young figured to benefit from Carter's absence, along with defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo
