Eagles' Jalen Carter: Returns to practice Wednesday
Jalen Carter (shoulders) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.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.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Likely to return in Week 17
The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to have Jalen Carter (shoulders) available for their Week 17 game next Sunday in Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.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.
