Eagles News: Jalen Carter is playing through a hairline fracture in his wrist

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter has been playing through a hairline fracture in his right wrist, an injury he sustained during his team's opening victory against the Washington Commanders. Despite wearing a protective soft cast during recent contests, his on-field workload has steadily declined over successive weeks, dropping from ninety-four percent of snaps in the season opener to seventy-one percent during a twenty-seven to seven defeat against the Chicago Bears.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio acknowledged that managing the physical limitation has been challenging, though he praised the lineman's resilience despite the obvious handicap.
