The DiCecco Daily: Impact Of Jalen Carter's Injury Absence Ahead Of Monday Night Game Vs. Chargers · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome into another edition of the check Odaly. It's Andrew
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Dicheco here from insidethbirds dot Com. Today, Thursday is the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: first Aiight Eagles were back on the practice field ahead
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of the Monday night matchup versus the LA Chargers in
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Sofi Stadium. And before we get to the big news
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of the day, we'll go through the injury report, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: that is not practicing defensive tackle Jalen Carter, shoulders tackle,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Lane Johnson, foot limited, linebacker Zacbond hand wide receiver Johann Dotson,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: tow wide receiver Xavier Gibson's shoulder, outside linebacker Jalen Phillips, concussion,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: full safety Marcus EPs, shoulder tackle Miles Sinson. Back now
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: on Jalen Carter. This is important to note here because
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: according to ESPN, Jaywen Carter is out for and I'm
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: reading a tweet from Adam Schefter here, Eagles defensive tackle
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: jay Won Carter is out for Monday Night's game versus
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the Chargers after undergoing a procedure this past Monday on
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: both his shoulders. Carter now is undergoing treatment on both
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: shoulders and he will be considered.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Week to week to return.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Carter wanted to be as close to one hundred percent
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: as possible for the playoff run. So there's an update
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: there on arguably the Egle's most important defensive centerpiece. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: know Zach Bond is up there, Quenya Mitchell, of course,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And I think that that's important to note here that
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: this is a week to week deal with Jayalen Carter.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: He's not going to be playing on Monday.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: This is a shoulder injury that he was dealing with,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and he had missed the first three training camp practices
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and you know, this is something that he's worked through
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: throughout the whole season. And even vicv Angio, Eagles defensive coordinator,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: he confirmed that Carter has a shoulder issue that he's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: been playing with. And if you remember back to my
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: podcast after the game Jay, when Carter said something a
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: little bit cryptic, if you will, and he said, it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: my problems to deal with.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I ain't finna tell everybody what I'm going through.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: When asked about his performance and why that was uncharacteristic
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That was his answer.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And you know the first thought is that he's dealing
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: with the shoulder injury, but it's now in both shoulders
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that he's dealing with, and you can clearly see that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: he was impacted it by that against the Bears.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It wasn't able to disengage, didn't have.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of push or penetration, and it wasn't like
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Jaywen Carter, who is a dominant force when healthy along
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that defensive line. So the Eagles are going to miss
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: him for this week and we'll have to wait and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: see thereafter what the status looks like. But in the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: absence of jay When Carter, who by the way, played
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: sixty one of eighty seven snap against the Bears, I
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: mean Moro Jomo played sixty two snaps, Jordan Davis played
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: fifty nine, Byron Young played thirty eight. So let's look
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: at the pieces who are going to have to pick
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: up the proverbial slack in the absence of Jayleen Carter
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Monday night against a Chargers offensive line that should provide
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: some opportunities because they're struggling in terms of injury. They
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: have two tackles who are reserves. Makai Beck, theen former Eagle,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: is not playing well, so this is an opportunity for
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: them to be able to provide some pressure. But you
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: also have to look at.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It in terms of run defense.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Jayalen Carter, when he's at his best, he's a pretty
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: significant run defender. Obviously, if that shoulder was bothering him
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: enough against the Bears, which it clearly impacted his play,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you have to wonder about how impactful he would have
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: been stopping the run this week anyway. But that now
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: leaves Moro, Jomo, Jordan Davis, Byron Young, and it's going
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to have to be rookie defensive tackle Ty Robinson, who's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: played in six games this year, just thirty five defensive snaps.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He's going to have to step in and be part
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: of this rotation. They also have a couple of defensive
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: tackles on the practice squad, including Gabe Hall, who I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: believe is played.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: In two games this season. He has one more elevation.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So it's a tricky situation for the Eagles.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It's certainly not ideal to not have your best defensive
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: player available, even if it's just for one week, any
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: significant amount any amount of time that Eagles are without
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Jayalen Carter is obviously going to be impactful. So that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: was the news that came down Thursday afternoon.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's Jeff Mosher, and if you have a family
• 4:42

  Speaker 3: thirty percent off.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Look, it's going to be in the in the best
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: interests of the team and Jalen Carter for him to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: be able to get that procedure so that he is
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: as close to one hundred percent as possible down the stretch.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But obviously, as I mentioned, not ideal.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Now, the Eagles did get back Marcus Apps to practice
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: today and his practice window was open, so it's not
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a surprise, but it's good to see him out there.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: He was a full participant.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I wasn't able to speak to him in the locker
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: room on Thursday, hoping to catch him either Friday or
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Saturday to just hear about the recovery process and just
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: kind of, you know, get a feel for where he
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: is right now and his themism of being able to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: be ready for Monday night. But based off with Vic
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Vanjo had to say, it sounds certainly like he's going.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: To be ready for that, ready.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: For that, and I think because you know he's practiced,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: windows open, he said he believed that he was going
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to be ready for it and would be in contention
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to start, So that's obviously a good sign.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Then he's full go today.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So I think all the stars are aligning for Marcus
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: EPs to start Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So good news there. And Xavier Gibson was back in
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the mix. So good news for Xavier Gibson who had
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the shoulder injury he missed some time. He missed last game,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: probably will miss another week if I had to guess,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: but it's it's certainly promising that the team did not
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: put him on ir and Miles Hinton his twenty one
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: day practice windows open, so he's still full go with
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the back. The Eagles still have to activate him to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the to the roster there, But interesting development with cornerback
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Darius Slay who was claimed yesterday by the Buffalo Bills,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and it's it's now seeming like well The Eagles also
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: put in a claim for Darius Slay, but.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He's unsure if.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He must to continue playing and will not be reporting
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to Buffalo.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: This is per Adam Schefter, and.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I think there's there's well, he's not going into a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: report and so the Bills do retain his rights for
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: now in case, in case Sleigh changes his mind. But
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the Eagles also reportedly put a claim in for Sleigh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: so they were in the mixed form.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The Bills ended up getting him.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: They had the you know, comes down to strength to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: schedule there, but you know, it seemed like Darius wanted
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to get to I should say Sligh. He doesn't go
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: by Darius Slay wanted to get to Philadelphia. It didn't
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: work out, but we'll see how this all plays out
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: from here. I don't know all the logistics or what's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: possible and what's not possible, but I think that it
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: speaks volumes that the Eagles wanted to get him back
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: in here. He would have been a plug and play starter,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: probably opposite Quinya Mitchell.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: There's familiarity there.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And that would have been a pretty good fit. But
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the Eagles now have two more practices this week. They
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: have the one tomorrow at two fifteen Friday, and that
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: takes place of the normal Thursday, so we'll get to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: see more of practice that week Tomorrow, probably about twenty
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: twenty five minutes, probably twenty five to thirty minutes actually,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and then there's the locker room, and then there will
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: be Saturday media availability, and that is the typical Friday
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: of course, brief practice for the media attended, and then
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: there's the locker room after that, and then Sunday I
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: go to La So I'm looking forward to that. One
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: of my favorite stadiums in the NFL may be my
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: favorite stadium in the NFL.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I love Sofi Stadium, just.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: The layout of it and how it almost looks like
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: something out of Star Trek the next generation. It just
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: looks like just a super modern field and they have
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: this three D scoreboard above it. And I'll make sure,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: as I always do, i'll take a picture of the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: stadium before the game. But it's a big game for
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the Eagles, and it's a big game tonight for the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Cowboys and the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. I'm
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing this game and how that's going
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to play out. But that's just some of my immediate
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: takeaways from today at Novacare. And you know, Jalen Carter
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: not playing on Monday night is a big deal.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It's a big deal and we'll.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Have to wait and see what transpires from there if
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that's something that continues on for another week. But to
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: not have your arguably your most dominant defensive player in
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the matchup that he favors the defensive line and he
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: can be a game changer, obviously, is something that is
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: going to be a very prominent storyline going into this game.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And a game that is is it's a very big
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: one for the Photoelphi Eagles.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: It is you know, they have a chance to hear,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: to rebound, the conditions will be optimal. The Chargers have
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a good defense. The Eagles have a good defense. Justin
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Herbert is dealing with an injury to his non throwing hand,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and I think having someone like Jayalen Carter to disrupt
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the passer and you know, put some pressure on Herbert
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: would have been would have been huge. But that's not
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: going to be the case this week. But that is
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the big news in terms of the Eagles.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Hey, one thing that always scares me is the latest
• 12:41

• 12:44
