Eagles' Jalen Carter to wear cast on injured wrist vs. Titans

By Tim McManus

PHILADELPHIA --�Eagles�defensive tackle Jalen Carter expects to wear a cast on his injured right wrist for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

"Pretty much nothing. It's just a cast," Carter said, referring to what adjustments he'll have to make in-game. "I'm still going to have to strike, grab, play the run and pass rush. That's pretty much it. I can't let it affect me."

Carter confirmed he sustained the injury against the Commanders last week while trying to punch the ball out of Terry McLaurin's hands after a fourth-quarter reception.

Carter was sidelined for Wednesday's practice and was a limited participant Thursday. Carter wore the cast during Thursday's session.

Carter, 25, has made the Pro Bowl each of the past two seasons and signed a four-year, $153 million extension in July. He is at the core of a strong defensive tackle group that also features Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo.

Defensive back Cooper DeJean (calf/abdomen) and edge Jonathan Greenard (pec) were limited Thursday, and safety Andrew Mukuba sat out because of a knee injury.
