Heading into the 2024 NFL regular season, the Philadephia Eagles had to replace two of the very best players in franchise history: Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce. Drafted in the early 2010s, with Cox coming off the board in the first round of 2012 and Kelce becoming the seal of the 2021 draft in the […]

It was 4th-and-11 at the Philadelphia Eagles 22-yard line. Matthew Stafford dropped back, looked to his right, and chucked the ball up to the Los Angeles Rams’ top receiver, Puka Nacua. And then… well, Stafford wasn’t sure what happened, at least until he heard the ravenous cheer of the Eagles fanbase, which let him know […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles needed a big defensive play in their snowy Divisional Round showdown against the Los Angeles Rams, it felt like Jalen Carter always stepped up and delivered the goods. He sacked Matthew Stafford early, hurting his ribs in the process, then Peanut punched the ball out of  Kyren Williams’ hands to set […]

The Philadelphia Eagles were teetering on the edge of giving up a big lead in the final moments of their divisional playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford had already directed one late touchdown drive and the Rams had the ball on a 3rd-and-2 play from the Eagles 22 with 1:14 remaining. Instead […]

On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles made a massive announcement: Jalen Hurts returned to practice. Now, for fans of the Eagles, this was the news everyone had been waiting for; after an extended run in concussion protocol, Philadelphia would likely have its QB1 back in time for the team’s Wild Card round showdown. But hidden on […]

With the Wild Card Round of the 2025 NFL playoffs rapidly approaching, one question persists among fans of the Philadelphia Eagles: who will start under center in Week 19? One of the healthiest teams in the NFL at every other position across both sides of the ball, with all 21 other starters expected to play […]

The Philadelphia Eagles’ dominant defensive tackle, Jalen Carter, is already making waves in his first NFL season. Carter’s name has started to surface in discussions about the league’s top defenders, even if he might be a year or two away from legitimately contending for the Defensive Player of the Year award. “My favorite sleeper whose […]

During his Week 14 media session, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was asked a simple question: who benefits most from Jalen Carter’s absolute dominance on the defensive line? On paper, an easy enough question with more than a few answers to choose from, as seemingly every player who shares the field with Carter, from […]

Jalen Carter might just be the Philadelphia Eagles’ best defensive player. Yes, the team has an overflow of young, exciting talent at all three levels of the defense, plus a few exciting veteran players who have helped to even out the highs and lows of a 17-game season, but through just 28 games of action, […]

After playing against each other in 2023, when Jalen Carter takes the field for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12, Aaron Donald won’t be on the opposing sidelines… unless, of course, the Los Angeles Rams legend decides to catch the game as a retired special guest. And yet, just because Donald called it a career […]

Jalen Carter has continued to dominate on one of the NFL’s best run defenses. In the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 11 win over the Washington Commanders, the second-year defensive tackle played every snap and recorded seven tackles (one for a loss). “I didn’t (know),” Carter said, per Zach Berman. “I just saw it on Twitter. I […]

Though it may be a bit too early to do a full-on redraft of the 2023 NFL rookie class, if one decided to pursue that undertaking, it’s safe to say Georgia Bulldogs first rounder Jalen Carter certainly would go off the board higher than pick ten to the Philadelphia Eagles. A dominant interior presence who […]

In Week 11’s edition of Thursday Night Football, Jalen Carter did something almost unprecedented for a Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman: he played every single defensive snap. I know,  crazy, right? Howie Roseman has practically made a career out of rolling deep on the defensive line with as many as eight linemen earning snaps in any […]

Nick Sirianni is proving to be all business ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest matchup of the season in Week 11. The Eagles host the Commanders on Thursday Night Football, and a viral video of defensive lineman Jalen Carter playing against Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels in college has resurfaced leading up to the game. During […]

A bad day for the Philadelphia Eagles got worse on Sunday when star defensive lineman Jalen Carter limped off the field with an apparent injury and went to the locker room, according to Zach Berman of PHLY. The Eagles later announced that Carter, along with center Cam Jurgens, are questionable to return to the game […]

After an emotional, hard-fought contest against New Orleans, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter turned his attention to any Saints fan or player who would listen to his trash-talking, as highlighted by NFL insider Ari Meirov. The Eagles won the game, 15-12. #Eagles DT Jalen Carter was apparently chirping at #Saints players and had to […]

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter didn’t start against the Atlanta Falcons because he was late to a team event, per NBC Sports. Carter was left on the bench as a disciplinary move by the team in Week 2. That’s certainly a disappointment to the Eagles and their defense, who rely on Carter to play […]

The lawsuit against current Philadelphia Eagles and former Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter stemming from a fatal car crash in January 2023 will continue after a survivor of the crash settled with the University of Georgia’s athletics department, per a court filing. Former UGA recruiting staffer Victoria Bowles, according to her lawsuit, suffered numerous injuries […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are hoping that Jalen Carter becomes a dominant force for them on the defensive line this season after an impressive rookie campaign in 2023, and they are putting more on his plate under new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, as they have packages in which he will line up on the edge to […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have zero margin for error in 2024. Philadelphia started the 2023 season on a hot streak, winning 10 of their first 11 games. However, they crumbled down the stretch and went on a losing streak that ended their season. The Eagles will need strong performances from many of their best players if […]

When it comes to Philadelphia Eagles defensive linemen in 2023, few were afforded the same national spotlight as Jalen Carter, the ninth overall pick in the draft out of Georgia. Widely considered the best defensive player in the 2023 class, with Will Anderson Jr. edging him out only because of the Bulldogs’ off-the-field issues, Carter […]

The San Francisco 49ers might still be recovering from the Super Bowl 58 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. But, that is the least of Jon Feliciano’s concerns at the moment. He and Philadelphia Eagles rookie Jalen Carter got under each other’s skin during their Week 13 battle. It was not just a physical game, […]

If the San Francisco 49ers offense has one weakness, it’s their offensive line. “Weakness” doesn’t feel like the right word either, because their offensive line isn’t bad. However, outside of All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams, the offensive line is not up to the level of the rest of their skill position players on offense. Philadelphia […]

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter tried out a new tactic in the Eagles’ victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Carter slid through the legs of center Creed Humphrey to try and intercept a spiked ball from Patrick Mahomes. It’s generally very clear when quarterbacks are about to spike a ball, so in this case, […]

Jalen Carter fell to the Philadelphia Eagles at the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he has been the steal that everyone thought he would be on the field early on in his career. The problem, though, is that Carter just cannot seem to find a way to stay out of trouble […]

AJ Brown has been absolutely dominant during his team’s battle with the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Unfortunately, his superlative individual effort could be marred by an injury to Philadelphia Eagles teammate Jalen Carter. Carter, arguably the best defensive rookie in the NFL this season, left Philadelphia’s Week 8 battle with Washington in the third quarter […]

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is a tremendously large human being. This shouldn’t come as breaking news. Even if you’ve never seen Jalen Carter play football, we can surmise he is a massive man considering, A.) He plays defensive tackle for the Eagles, and B.) His nickname is “Baby Rhino,” which actually undersells how […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are likely to be without two impactful defensive players on Sunday against the New York Jets. Darius Slay and Jalen Carter both continue to miss practice as they deal with knee and ankle injuries and are expected to miss Sunday’s game, according to Ian Rapoport. Slay has not practiced all week. He’s […]

The Philadelphia Eagles might be 5-0, but some things are not quite right with the team. They’ve struggled to put away teams that they should be beating comfortably given their pedigree. Their defense, which was arguably the best unit last season, has been rather hit-and-miss. Ahead of their Week 6 game against the Jets, they […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie Jalen Carter surprisingly popped up on the injury report for Week 6 ahead of Philadelphia’s clash with the New York Jets. Carter was listed as a “DNP” with an ankle issue, according to Adam Caplan. #PHIvsNYJ Thursday injury report (Jalen Carter added) pic.twitter.com/dkI9Dj2STr — Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) October 12, 2023 Carter has […]

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles improved their 2023 record to a perfect 5-0.

After the game, rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter noted the large amount […]

After the Georgia football team won their second straight national championship, many players and team staffers celebrated when they returned back to Athens, Georgia.

The Philadelphia Eagles haven’t exactly been on point offensively, with quarterback Jalen Hurts having his fair share of struggles in the throwing game. But what has kept the Eagles unbeaten through the first three game weeks, following their 25-11 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been their stellar defense. With Darius Slay still at […]

The Philadelphia Eagles selected defensive tackle Jalen Carter in the first round (ninth overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft with the hopes that he would turn into a cornerstone for their stop unit. So far in his rookie campaign, Carter has been showing so much promise as part of Philly’s defense. He impressed football fans […]

The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t exactly cruise to victory over the New England Patriots in Week 1, but a win is a win, and Philly will gladly start the season off with a 1-0 record. One of the bright spots in their win was rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter, and it sounds like Nick Sirianni and […]

There were dozens of rookies who made their NFL debuts on Sunday, but perhaps none had a better first act in professional football than Jalen Carter.

The Philadelphia Eagles rolled the dice when they traded up to draft Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter. His talent has been obvious — arguably more so than any other prospect from the 2023 NFL Draft. But his involvement in a car crash that killed two people left teams worried that his off-field antics would jeopardize […]

Another day, another scrap ahead of the NFL season. The Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles are having joint practices this week ahead of their preseason finale and on Tuesday, things got heated.
