While the Philadelphia Eagles' defense was dominant in the absence of their star defensive tackle Jalen Carter, wow, did he make an impact right away in his return from his shoulders procedure.
Carter had not played since last month after injuring both shoulders. He mentioned that the pain was so bad that he was not able to do any push-ups at that time.
In his return in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, Carter looked to be in midseason form right away as he helped the Eagles win 13-12. He finished with four pressures, three hurries, three quarterback hits, two tackles, one tackle for loss, and one extra point block in the victory.
