Eagles Defensive Tackle Jalen Carter Is Not Playing Against the Giants because of a Heel Injury
Jalen Carter misses his second game this season due to a heel injury sustained in practice, prompting the Eagles to rotate other defensive players in his absence.
- On Thursday, Eagles All‑Pro defensive tackle Jalen Carter is inactive after pregame warmups suggested he would not play, and he briefly spoke with Clint Hurtt, Nick Sirianni, Howie Roseman, and trainers before walking back into the tunnel.
- After popping up on Wednesday's injury report with a heel injury, Jalen Carter was listed as questionable going into Thursday.
- NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said, `We have seen over the last several years, as a player deals with a lower-body injury about to head out on the MetLife turf, maybe they're a little more cautious than always,` adding it's `not a significant injury for Jalen Carter.`
- Eagles activated linebacker Nakobe Dean for his 2025 debut and plan a defensive rotation with Byron Young, Gabe Hall and rookie Ty Robinson to replace Carter.
- Carter's absence marks his second missed game this season, including a Week 1 ejection, in Philadelphia Eagles' second divisional game at Thursday Night Football, MetLife Stadium where Giants rookie Jaxson Dart starts.
