Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio continues not to mince words when it comes to his players.

In his media availability on Tuesday, Fangio was quite direct regarding Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter's conditioning, noting that he is a bit behind.

"There are a lot of reasons for that,...He has had a shoulder issue, which has limited his time on the practice field. The shorter practices that we do, the lack of reps from multiple reasons. All that."

Carter is behind the eight ball after less than stellar season "debut"

Fangio relates Carter's sub-optimal conditioning, leading back to a shoulder issue, which ironically was not disclosed during the Eagles' Week 2 injury report; however, he was a full participant in week one.
