Eagles Face Chargers with Key Injuries Ahead of Monday Night Football

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, they are grappling with significant injuries, particularly the absence of defensive lineman Jalen Carter. According to PhillyVoice, Carter underwent a procedure on both shoulders and will not play against the Chargers, a major loss given his breakout season last year where he earned a Pro Bowl and All-Pro nod.

The Eagles, currently 8-4, are coming off back-to-back losses and are trying to maintain their lead in the NFC East, while the Chargers, also at 8-4, are dealing with their own injury concerns, including quarterback Justin Herbert's hand injury.

CBS Sports highlights that Philadelphia's offense has struggled recently, scoring only two touchdowns in their last three games, which puts additional pressure on them as they face a Chargers defense ranked third in total defense.

This matchup is crucial for both teams, as a loss could have significant playoff implications for the Chargers, while the Eagles aim to solidify their position in the division.
