Here was Jalen Carter in October. He was right.
Jalen Carter: “Everybody has injuries … but when the right time comes, if I need to stop and take a little break to work more on my shoulder, that time is going to come. But as of right now it feels good enough to play.” www.inquirer.com/eagles/jalen...

Carter admitted on Thursday the shoulder injury that has lingered since the offseason is affecting his play. But he says he can't let the injury "be the blame" for lacking production.
