The Eagles announced last Thursday that All-Pro lineman Carter underwent procedures on both shoulders. The surgeries were described as minor, which is why he’s listed as week-to-week. Still, the timing strongly suggests the priority is getting him as close to full strength as possible for a playoff push.

Lane Johnson is out with a foot injury. There is no update on AJ Dillon right now.
