With Super Bowl LIX just days away, Jalen Carter's absence from back-to-back press conferences didn't go unnoticed. Unfortunately, the star defensive tackle was unable to attend either, as he's under the weather, per information shared with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport first revealed in a Feb. 5 statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the Pro Bowl pick, 23, "missed his media availability today because of an illness, I’m told. We’ll learn later about whether he participated in practice and if so, how much."

— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) February 5, 2025Specific details of Carter's illness were not immediately available, but it appears that he's not the only one who has come down with something before the big game. NBC's John Clark spoke with the team on Thursday afternoon and was told an unspecified illness was "going around through some of the team," but that it was believed Carter would be fully recovered and rested up come Sunday.
Here's to hoping the team is back on their A-game in time to face off with the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, kicking off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 9.
