The Philadelphia Eagles ’ defense continues to take hits, and star defensive tackle Jalen Carter is the latest concern. Carter briefly left the Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering what appeared to be a shoulder stinger in the fourth quarter. He was listed as questionable to return, per The Athletic’s James Palmer, before eventually reentering the contest.
“Eagles DT Jalen Carter (shoulder) questionable to return Sunday,” Palmer reported during the game. The injury initially looked worrying, but NBC Philadelphia’s John Clark later confirmed that Carter returned to the field.
“Jalen Carter is coming back on the field,” Clark said, noting that the defensive lineman appeared to shake off the hit without major issues.
Still, Carter hasn’t escaped injury concern
