Carter is in his third season in the NFL after the Eagles drafted him ninth overall in 2023. He has already solidified himself as one of the best defenders in the league and was named a Second-Team All-Pro last year.

Through four games this season, Carter has recorded six tackles and 1.5 stuffs. It's worth noting he was ejected right after the opening kickoff in Week 1 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

Kickoff between the Eagles (4-0) and Broncos (2-2) at Lincoln Financial Field is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Sunday on CBS.
