The Philadelphia Eagles may have avoided a major setback with the health of one of their best defensive players.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter is doing better one day after suffering a back injury against the Washington Commanders.
“Jalen feels better today,” Sirianni told reporters. “Again, we want to get out on the field to see where he is. But he feels better today. That’s a tribute to him getting in here and getting treatment and also our trainers.”
Carter, 22, was the ninth overall pick in April’s NFL draft after the Eagles traded up to select him. He had one tackle and one quarterback hit in Sunday’s 38-31 win over Washington.
In seven games, the Georgia product has 14 tackles, 3.5 sacks, six QB hits and two forced fumbles.
The Eagles (7-1) host the Dallas Cowboys (5-2) for the first of their two annual meetings this Sunday.
