Overview
- Carter will miss the game against the Chargers after undergoing procedures earlier this week, with no move to injured reserve at this time.
- Reports differ on whether the work was surgical or non-surgical, though team staff acknowledged a lingering shoulder issue dating to camp.
- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said the shoulder problem has affected Carter’s play, which aligns with his reduced snap share in the Black Friday loss to the Bears.
- Jordan Davis, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young and rookie Ty Robinson are expected to absorb additional snaps on the interior, with practice-squad options available for depth.
- Carter opted for treatment now with the goal of returning as close to full strength for the playoffs, as the 8-4 Eagles jockey for seeding down the stretch.
