Michael Carter Latest News
Won't play vs. Bills
Carter (back) is listed as out for Monday's game versus Buffalo, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports. Carter has been able to play through nagging injuries for the entire season up to this point, but he'll miss his first game of the year in Week 6. In his stead, Brandin Echols should see increased work.
Still sidelined
Carter (hamstring) will not practice Thursday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports. Carter suffered the injury in pregame warmups ahead of the Jets' Week 5 matchup with the Vikings. Luckily for the Duke product, the team doesn't play until Monday against the Bills, so he'll have an extra day to potentially recover in time to suit up.
Hurt before kickoff
Carter (hamstring) was injured during pregame warmups before Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Carter never actually entered the game against Minnesota in London and was initially announced as doubtful to return soon after kickoff. In his place, Isaiah Oliver handled slot duties, recording six tackles, including a 1.0 sacks. The Jets next play Buffalo in Week 6 on MNF, which will give Carter an extra day to recover.
Leaves with injury
Carter (hamstring) is doubtful to return Sunday against the Vikings. Carter exited early in the first quarter of the Week 5 game in London. The Duke product's absence will leave the Jets down their slot corner, leaving Isaiah Oliver as the one likely to see extra opportunities while Carter is out.
Back to full speed
Carter (ankle) was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Carter played through a lingering ankle injury during the first two weeks of the season, but it appears the issue is bothering him less as of recently. He could be in line for an expanded role in Week 3 versus the Patriots if D.J. Reed (knee) can't go.
Limited Monday
Carter (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Head coach Robert Saleh told reporter earlier Monday that Carter's ankle injury will likely limit him throughout the season, so it's no surprise he was estimated as a limited participant Monday. The Duke product was able to play through the issue in Week 2, but if that's not the case in Week 3, expect Qwan'tez Stiggers and Brandin Echols to see increased snaps in the Jets' secondary.
Dealing with reoccuring injury
Head coach Robert Saleh stated Monday that Carter is still dealing with an ankle injury that will likely limit him throughout the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Carter picked up the injury early in training camp and doesn't appear that it will be healing on its own anytime soon. Saleh suggested the Duke product will likely be going in and out of games throughout the season as he plays through the injury. Although things can change, it sounds like Carter should be able to play Thursday against the Patriots.
Good to go for Week 2
Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Carter (ankle) will practice in full and will suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Carter dealt with an ankle injury during training camp, and during Monday night's loss to the 49ers he was forced out due to what seemed to be the same issue, but Saleh said every player on the Jets' injury report is slated to practice in full and play Sunday. It sounds like Carter is expected to handle his usual assortment of defensive snaps as New York's top slot cornerback versus Tennessee.
Still dealing with injury
Carter (ankle) will be listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Carter dealt with an ankle injury during training camp and may have aggravated it in Monday night's loss to the 49ers. However, the issue doesn't appear to be as serious, as Cimini notes, according to head coach Robert Saleh, the Duke product should play Sunday against the Titans.
