**Carter Joins Eagles' Injury List; Mailata and Goedert Ruled Out**

Philadelphia Eagles' defensive tackle Carter was newly added to the injury report on Thursday, with head coach Sirianni suggesting that the injury happened during practice. "We'll provide more information later," Sirianni commented on the nature of Carter's injury. "Practicing intensely sometimes leads to such incidents."

Jordan Mailata and Dallas Goedert continue to grapple with hamstring injuries and missed practice for the third consecutive day. Both players have been ruled out, with Mailata placed on Injured Reserve, sidelining him for at least four weeks. Other absentees from Friday’s practice include cornerback Eli Ricks, dealing with a groin issue, and defensive tackle Byron Young, also hampered by a hamstring injury. Ricks sat out Thursday’s session as well, whereas Young was only limited.

Meanwhile, defensive tackle Milton Williams and linebacker Oren Burks showed positive signs, participating fully in Friday’s practice after being limited a day earlier. Williams, who missed the week's initial practice, is expected to play on Sunday alongside Burks.

Safeties Sydney Brown, outside linebacker Jalyx Hunt, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, and wide receiver Ainias Smith were full participants in practice both on Thursday and Friday. Although available for Sunday's game against the Giants, Brown, Okwuegbunam, and Smith would need to be elevated to the 53-man roster to take the field.

The Eagles recently activated a 21-day practice window for Brown, who is on the path to rejoining the 53-man roster potentially for the upcoming game against the Giants at MetLife Stadium, where he previously tore his ACL late in his rookie season.
