Jalen Carter’s Injury Concern for Philadelphia Before Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter’s absence from Wednesday’s media availability due to illness has raised concerns about his health ahead of the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Carter is a crucial part of the Eagles’ defense, and his absence or diminished health would be a significant setback.

While Carter’s status will be clearer after the team releases its practice report, his teammates appeared at the open session. Carter, in his second season, has become a key player for the Eagles. Just days earlier, he expressed confidence about facing Patrick Mahomes, stating his goal was to sack him and disrupt his game.

The Chiefs currently report no health issues. They have the opportunity to make history by becoming the first team in the Super Bowl era to win three consecutive championships. For the Eagles, a win would secure their second Super Bowl title.

This game is also a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl, which the Chiefs won, starting their current streak. The two teams did not meet in the regular season. Their last encounter before the Super Bowl was an Eagles victory at Arrowhead Stadium. That game notably featured Travis Kelce facing his brother Jason.
