Multiple Philadelphia Eagles players, including Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jalen Carter, are dealing with an illness just three days before Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans, La.
Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson on Thursday told The Philadelphia Inquirer that he knew of four or five players on the team dealing with the flu, or a flu-related illness. Carter, a rising star on Philadelphia's defense, missed practice Wednesday due to an illness and was not present at the team's sessions with the media, but was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told NBC Sports Philadelphia's John Clark that he hopes Carter will be good to go for Super Bowl LIX.
