The Philadelphia Eagles will be without one of their best defensive players Monday in Los Angeles and potentially longer.

Jalen Carter underwent procedures Monday on both shoulders and is considered week to week, a league source confirmed to CBS News Philadelphia. Carter will miss at least the Chargers game on Monday night, the source said. He is hoping to be as close to 100% as possible in the lead-up to the postseason.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said earlier this week that Carter was dealing with a shoulder ailment, but did not get into specifics.

Carter, 24, has two sacks, 36 total pressures, five batted passes and 26 hurries in 10 games this season. The third-year DT often draws double teams, but still finds ways to pressure opposing quarterbacks and change games.
