Philadelphia Eagles' cornerback Darius Slay and defensive tackle Jalen Carter will not be playing in the upcoming game against the New York Jets due to their respective knee and ankle injuries. Slay and Carter were absent from practice sessions and their absence is expected to be significant for the team's defense. The Eagles are hopeful that neither player will be out for an extended period of time. Lane Johnson, the team's offensive tackle, has also been ruled out for the game due to an ankle injury.

RE: Lane Johnson potential left high ankle sprain. Typically, a 3-4-week injury, but O-linemen tend to come back earlier. Issue for Lane is he came back early from right ankle one and it caused misery for years after.
Initial X-rays on #Eagles RT Lane Johnson’s right ankle came back negative, an NFL source said. Belief is it could be a high ankle sprain, but an MRI tomorrow morning will tell more, source said.
If Lane Johnson is going to be out a while, the Eagles may have to find a better answer at RT than Jack Driscoll.
Reed Blankenship is out of the tent and walking back to the locker room. The Eagles are down to one true safety on the game day roster in Terrell Edmunds. Sydney Brown (hamstring) and Justin Evans (knee, IR) are inactive.

Milton Williams down. Eagles already without Jalen Carter and Marlon Tuipulotu when they typically like to go with a 6-man DT rotation. Remaining players at the position: Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis, Kentavius Street, Moro Ojomo.

Eagles super-rookie Jalen Carter won’t play today against the Jets … And that’s a huge loss since Carter might already be one of the best defensive players in the NFL. https://t.co/LzbsLtj2bf https://t.co/EWBC8HXtav
Gift for the #Eagles tomorrow. Jets will be without both starting CBs, Sauce Garnder (concussion) and DJ Reed (concussion). Sauce is PFF's No. 11 CB in coverage among 120 qualifiers. Reed is No. 22.
Eagles will be without DT Jalen Carter and CB Darius Slay, while the #Jets won’t have CB D.J. Reed again and CB Sauce Gardner missed practice with an illness. https://t.co/Llfau3s6EO

Eagles DT Jalen Carter and CB Darius Slay are both OUT vs the Jets on Sunday. https://t.co/QyyWgxoKmL
The Eagles ruled Jalen Carter (ankle), Justin Evans (knee), Darius Slay (knee) and Quez Watkins (hamstring) out for Sunday. Presumably, Bradberry, Jobe, Blankenship, Edmunds and Roby your secondary vs Jets.
Eagles CB Darius Slay (knee), WR Quez Watkins (hamstring), DL Jalen Carter (ankle) not expected to play Sunday vs. Jets, per @RapSheet https://t.co/N0NHI1rnUo https://t.co/4FC6jwIUHU
Assuming Eagles are without Carter and Slay vs Jets: As good as Carter is, they get Fletcher Cox back, they ought to be deep enough there. Playing without Slay for the first time since 2021 will be more troublesome. I guess Josh Jobe, who got no defensive snaps at LA, steps in.
Jalen Carter was injured in Wednesday's practice. Eagles will see how he's feeling today. It's not expected to be a long-term injury. Similar sentiment about Darius Slay, who hasn't practiced this week.
Darius Slay, Jalen Carter may not play Sunday, but Eagles don't think either will be out long. https://t.co/PRrot3GYb4
Nick Sirianni on #Eagles DT Jalen Carter’s ankle injury: Suffered on Wednesday. We’ll see how the rest of the week will go. Says it’s not a long-term injury.
