For the second time this season, the Philadelphia Eagles will be playing without arguably their best defensive player.
NFL All-Pro defensive tackle Jalen Carter popped up on the inactives list for the Eagles just ahead of their Thursday Night Football road game against the New York Giants.
“Eagles DT Jalen Carter, who was added to the injury report Wednesday due to a heel injury, is inactive for tonight’s game against the Giants,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on his official X account on October 9.
Carter famously missed the season opener for the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles when he spit on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott just 6 seconds into the game — before the first offensive snap was even taken — and was ejected.
The NFL fined Carter a whopping $57,222 for the incident.
Carter, a 2023 first round pick (No. 9 overall) was dominant in his second season with the Eagles but has gotten off to a relatively slow start in 2025 with zero sacks through his first 4 games.
