The Philadelphia Eagles will go without star defensive tackle Jalen Carter in Sunday’s Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Carter had a procedure done for both shoulders and will be week-to-week, possibly back for the playoffs, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Shoulder issues have been a problem for Carter this season—he missed time during training camp and talked about “a stinger” after the Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio confirmed Carter’s ongoing problems during Wednesday’s press conference.
