Carter (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Carter sustained a hip issue in Thursday's practice, and Friday marked consecutive days that the defensive lineman was unable to participate. The team has elected to allow the starter to heal as the playoffs approach, and Ty Robinson is in line to play significant snaps at defensive end opposite Moro Ojomo for the Week 18 divisional matchup.

Carter (hip) did not participate at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Carter popped up on the injury report with an apparent hip issue Thursday, and he was forced to sit out practice as a result. The defensive lineman will have one more chance to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.

Carter (shoulders) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Carter (shoulders) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

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

Carter (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Carter (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Eagles have ruled out Carter (shoulder) for Week 14.
EDGE Analysis
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 figures to benefit from Carter's absence, along with defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo.
