Overview
- Reports from Eagles training camp say Carter looks noticeably quicker and dominated 11-on-11 drills after losing about 10 pounds during the offseason.
- Carter told reporters he hit the target set by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio by cutting portions and cutting back on Minute Maid raspberry juice.
- Fangio publicly praised Carter’s offseason lifting and preparation, saying the defensive tackle is in a better spot than he was last year.
- Camp performance must be validated in upcoming joint practices with the Patriots and live preseason games to show the gains translate to real snaps.
- The change matters because Carter had a 2025 dip, including a career-low 7.7% pressure rate, and if he stays composed the Eagles’ interior with Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo could rank among the league’s best.
