Carter recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.
Carter played a season high 96 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps in Week 7 and it led to his best performance of the season, sacking Daniel Jones in the second and third quarters of Sunday's win. The 2023 first-round pick out of Georgia has now tallied 14 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and three passes defended through Philadelphia's first six games. Expect Carter to continue serving as the Eagles' top interior defensive lineman as the team travels to Cincinnati in Week 8.

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.

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.
