After both players did not practice on Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that cornerback Darius Slay (knee) and defensive tackle Jalen Carter (ankle) will both miss Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Safety Justin Evans (knee) and wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) are also out, but Carter and Slay are the biggest losses by far.

On Thursday, before it was even known that Carter and Slay would be out, we already labeled the underperforming Eagles defense as a sneaky favorable matchup for the Jets offense.
