Carter (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
The defensive tackle was a limited participant Wednesday after appearing on the injury report with the shoulder issue. Carter played on 90 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps in last week's win over the Panthers, logging three solo tackles. The second-year pro has yet to miss a game all year, and he appears on track to play again this Sunday against the Steelers.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Carter was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
It's not clear when Carter suffered the injury, as he logged his usual large workload (90 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps) this past Sunday against Carolina. There's been no word that he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, but it bears monitoring Carter's practice participation the rest of the week. If Carter were to miss any time, Thomas Booker could be asked to take on more defensive work.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Disruptive in road win
Rotowire
Carter recorded four tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore.
The extent of Carter's impact in Week 13 doesn't fully register in the box score, as he was hurrying passes and hitting ball carriers in the background all evening. He demonstrated remarkable stamina as well, playing 70 of the Eagles' 71 defensive snaps Sunday. Though not necessarily on the IDP radar, he remains one of the best defensive linemen in football going into Week 14.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Could play Week 9
Rotowire
Carter (back), who left Sunday's 38-31 win over the Commanders, could be available for Week 9 against the Cowboys, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Carter left Sunday's game with one tackle and did not return. He got some testing done after the game and the results were good enough -- according to McLane -- for Carter to have a chance of playing in Week 9. His practice participation over the week will shed further light on what direction he's trending ahead of the divisional showdown.

Carter (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Miami.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Could miss Week 6
Rotowire
Eagles head coach Nick Sirriani said Friday that Carter sustained an ankle injury during practice and that he doesn't think the issue will "keep him out very long," Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
That being said, Sirriani wouldn't commit to the rookie defensive tackle being available Sunday at the Jets. Philadelphia will release its final Week 6 injury report later Friday, which will clarify whether Carter carries a questionable or doubtful tag into Sunday's contest or is ruled out.

Eagles' Jalen Carter: Tending to ankle injury
Rotowire
Carter (ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Carter practiced in full to start the week Wednesday, so he presumably picked up the ankle issue during practice. If he can't get back onto the practice field Friday, he may be in danger of missing Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Jets.
