Carter (back) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Carter was forced out of Sunday's contest at Jacksonville early by a back injury, and now his availability for Week 16 seems to be in jeopardy. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play Sunday versus the Rams.
Carter exited Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a back injury. Carter did not record a statistic before exiting Sunday's contest. He totaled 23 tackels and one pass defended across 11 appearances coming into Week 15. In Carter's absence, it's likely that Isaiah Oliver will step in at slot cornerback for the Jets.
Carter (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Carter suffered a back injury in Week 8 against the Texans, but after logging a full practice Friday, he will suit up for Sunday's game. Across seven regular-season games, Carter has logged 14 tackles (11 solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery.
Carter (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Carter opened the week with a DNP on Wednesday, but he has steadily increased his practice participation over the week, which culminated in a full session Friday. Even though he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game, the 2021 fifth-round pick appears to be trending towards being able to suit up.
Carter (back) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Carter suffered a back injury during the Jets' Week 9 win over the Texans. He opened the week with a DNP on Wednesday, but he was able to return for Thursday's session, indicating that he is progressing through the injury. If Carter is able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, he should be tagged as questionable heading into Sunday's game against Arizona.
Carter (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Carter sustained a back injury in the Jets' Week 9 win over the Texans, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing Week 10's matchup against the Cardinals. If the Duke product is unable to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, Isaiah Oliver will likely serve as the Jets' top slot corner Sunday.
Carter (back) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Texans. The cornerback recorded one solo tackle before exiting. Carter has 14 tackles (11 solo), a pass defensed and a fumble recovery on the year. Kendall Sheffield is in for Carter since Isaiah Oliver is playing safety in place of Tony Adams (hamstring).
Carter (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. A back injury prevented Carter from suiting up for the Jets' last two games, but he appears to be over the issue and he should return for Sunday's game against the Patriots, barring any setbacks. While Carter and starting corner D.J. Reed are trending towards playing Sunday, the Jets could be without top safeties Tony Adams (hamstring) and Ashtyn Davis (concussion), both of whom have missed the first two practices of the week.
Carter (back) was a limited participant during Wednesday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Carter has been sidelined for the last three games due to a back injury he sustained during pregame warmups before the Jets' Week 5 contest against the Vikings in London. Wednesday is the first time since the injury that Carter has practiced, which is a step in the right direction for the 2021 fifth-round pick. Carter's practice participation over the next two days will provide a better idea of whether he'll return for Sunday's contest against the Patriots.
