NEW ORLEANS — Despite not being present for media availability for the second consecutive day Thursday, Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter fully participated in practice Thursday afternoon, suggesting he is on track to play Sunday despite being limited Wednesday due to an illness.

Carter is among a few Eagles dealing with illnesses, but none of them missed practice or was limited due to an illness Thursday when the Eagles again practiced at Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie.

Three Eagles were limited with injuries: Brandon Graham (elbow), DeVonta Smith (hamstring), and reserve offensive lineman Nick Gates (groin).

Running back Kenneth Gainwell was upgraded to a full participant as he works his way through the concussion protocol.
