Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is expected to play in Week 7 as he deals with a heel injury. He went full-limited-limited in practice this week and was ruled questionable. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Carter missed last week's game against the New York Giants, and the Eagles gave up 172 rushing yards to the G-Men, including 98 yards and three scores to rookie running back Cam Skattebo. Likewise, Dallas had 188 rushing yards with 54 yards and two scores for running back Javonte Williams after Carter was ejected early in the season opener. Philly ranks 26th in rushing yards allowed as a team, and his presence is necessary in the middle of the defense. He will play a factor against Minnesota and hard-nosed running back Jordan Mason.
