Eagles coach Nick Sirianni didn't say much today about the Jalen Carter injury. "We had a little injury in practice Wednesday, which you saw in the injury report. ... We'll let you know about his status for this week, but I don't see it as something keeping him out very long."
Jalen Carter (ankle) was injured in Wednesday's practice. Nick Sirianni said it’s not expected to be a long-term thing. Same with Darius Slay. Sure sounds like Nakobe Dean will be activated off IR for Sunday’s game against the #Jets.
