Carter (back), who left Sunday's 38-31 win over the Commanders, could be available for Week 9 against the Cowboys, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Carter left Sunday's game with one tackle and did not return. He got some testing done after the game and the results were good enough -- according to McLane -- for Carter to have a chance of playing in Week 9. His practice participation over the week will shed further light on what direction he's trending ahead of the divisional showdown.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirriani said Friday that Carter sustained an ankle injury during practice and that he doesn't think the issue will "keep him out very long," Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
That being said, Sirriani wouldn't commit to the rookie defensive tackle being available Sunday at the Jets. Philadelphia will release its final Week 6 injury report later Friday, which will clarify whether Carter carries a questionable or doubtful tag into Sunday's contest or is ruled out.
