Carter returned strong, drawing extra attention from the Chiefs’ line and freeing opportunities for teammates while showing interior disruption that can pay dividends in the pass rush.

Carter anchors the Eagles' interior rush, driving pressure that can speed Stafford’s timing and force hurried throws. His disruptive play translates into sack and tackle opportunities, shaping the defensive side of the Week 3 equation and potentially limiting the Rams’ offensive rhythm.

Carter rebounded from the Week 1 suspension to anchor the interior, recording three pressures on Mahomes and a tackle-for-loss, helping Philly limit KC’s offense and spark a pivotal win.

Carter returned in Week 2 after a Week 1 ejection for spitting on Dak Prescott, starting on the D-line with Davis and Ojomo. He posted three QB hits and a tackle for loss, avoided penalties, and played through a minor stinger, signaling a fast track to a larger role on Philly’s defense.

Carter’s season debut is noted in the broader context of Eagles’ lineup disruptions; his return could bolster Philly’s interior pressure and fantasy valence in upcoming weeks as the defense regains its shape.
