Jalen Carter was benched for the Eagles' first defensive series against the Falcons due to tardiness related to a team commitment. He played a total of 46 snaps, the highest among the Eagles’ interior linemen, but finished the game with only one assisted tackle. Carter is off to a slow start this season, without any sacks and just one quarterback hit over two games. He experienced significant double-team blocking in the opener but faced more one-on-one opportunities against Atlanta, ultimately managing to generate some pressure while being largely inactive during crucial moments, including the Falcons' game-winning drive.
