The Philadelphia Eagles have been rolling at the start of the 2025 NFL season, led by head coach Nick Sirianni.

Philadelphia started the season with a victory over the Dallas Cowboys and followed that with a win over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

After being victorious in the Super Bowl rematch, the Eagles will have another heavy hitting battle to face in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Eagles are set to face the Rams at home, looking to stay undefeated.

Ahead of their matchup against Los Angeles, Philadelphia was dealing with injury woes, most notably to defensive star Jalen Carter.

Carter dealt with a shoulder injury throughout the practice week, which was closely monitored by the staff.

On Friday, when the last injury report was posted online, the Philadelphia Eagles revealed that Carter will be available against the Los Angeles Rams, and has been removed from the injury report after being a full participant in practice.

Carter has been one of the top players on the Eagles defense over the past few years. This is Carter's third season in the NFL and he's already established himself as one of the best defensive linemen in the league.

After earning his first Pro Bowl last season, Carter was looking to take another leap in 2025.

So far this season, Carter has posted two tackles, both of which came against the Kansas City Chiefs. Carter missed most of the Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after he was ejected for a spitting incident with Dak Prescott in the game's opening minute.

Tight end Dallas Goedert was also removed from the injury report after dealing with a knee issue. The Eagles host the Rams in a rematch of Philadelphia's closest playoff game during last year's run to a championship. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
