Eagles rule out four starters for Week 6 matchup vs. Jets

The Philadelphia #Eagles will be without three starters on defense and WR Quez Watkins for the Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets

The Eagles will be without Jalen Carter (ankle), Darius Slay (knee), Quez Watkins (hamstring), and Justin Evans (knee) for Sunday’s matchup against the New York Jets.

Veteran defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, who missed last week’s win over the Rams with a back injury, returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity and was a full participant on Thursday.

Second-year linebacker Nakobe Dean practiced for the second third since injuring his foot in the Week 1 win over the Patriots. The Eagles opened Dean’s 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

Philadelphia would need to release or waive a player before adding Dean to the 53-man roster.
