Overview
- Carter underwent procedures on both shoulders on Dec. 1 and will miss the Week 14 game against the Chargers, with his status evaluated week to week.
- The Eagles are not placing him on injured reserve, and reporting differs on whether the work was surgical, with the Inquirer characterizing it as a medical procedure rather than surgery.
- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Carter has played through a shoulder issue since training camp, which has affected his usage and effectiveness at times.
- Philadelphia plans to lean more on Jordan Davis, Moro Ojomo and Byron Young, with rookie Ty Robinson expected to enter the defensive tackle rotation.
- Saturday’s update also listed right tackle Lane Johnson as out, as the 8-4 Eagles try to halt a two-game slide while targeting Carter’s return for the stretch run.
