Carter’s week’s pay ($57,222) and ejection noted; fine not listed among on-Saturday announcements.

Carter was ejected for a spitting incident amid a confrontation with Tyler Booker; subsequent angles suggested Prescott spat first, elevating the Spitgate saga. Carter faces fines and NFL review, his playing status for next games uncertain as league evaluates conduct.

Carter returns after a suspension and steps back into the middle, reuniting with Jordan Davis to form a formidable interior. His presence is pivotal for stopping the run, occupying double-teams, and freeing Davis to penetrate. Expect a rotational uptick and sharper gap control, which should improve Philadelphia’s overall front-seven consistency.

Carter’s Week 1 ejection shadowed his debut; Week 2 in a high-leverage spot against Green Bay tests his ability to anchor run defense. His presence could tilt Philadelphia’s front, limiting Packers’ ground game and impacting short-yardage schemes. A strong showing would reaffirm his role as a cornerstone defender early in the season.

Carter's status dominates the Eagles' defensive outlook as a suspension from earlier incidents is resolved; his presence could tilt the line play in a clash with Kansas City's interior, shaping run defense and rush timing. His maturity and on-field impact will be watched closely, especially in a playoff-caliber rematch atmosphere.
