Carter and the Falcons agreed to a one-year extension on Monday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter played 11 games with the Falcons in 2018, racking up 16 solo tackles and five assisted tackles. He also played 188 snaps on special teams. The veteran linebacker will bring experience and depth to Atlanta's defense in 2019.

Carter accounted for 16 solo tackles and five assisted tackles for the Falcons in 2018.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran linebacker has become less and less of a defensive factor over the latter stages of his career, logging just four starts across his past four seasons with the Buccaneers, Jets and Falcons, compared to 32 starts during four years in Dallas. 70.1 percent of his snaps for Atlanta this season came on special teams, as he picked up his most tackles since 2015 despite suiting up for only 11 games. With his contract expiring this winter, there is potential for Carter to be playing elsewhere next year as Atlanta looks to continue infusing youth into the roster.

Carter was signed to Atlanta's active roster Tuesday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter bring experience and depth to a Falcons' linebacker corps lacking Deion Jones (foot). The 30-year-old veteran has racked up 306 tackles, 20 pass defenses, five sacks, five interceptions and one touchdown during his nine years in the league.

Carter (groin) is not listed in the Jets' final injury report heading into Sunday's game versus the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Carter has missed the Jets' previous two games while nursing a groin injury, but he appears fully recovered from the issue. Assuming he avoids any setbacks, look for the 29-year-old to resume his role providing depth at linebacker Sunday.

Carter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter was unable to practice this week while battling the groin injury and will miss his second game of the season as a result. The linebacker has been used almost exclusively on special teams this season, producing five tackles across 11 contests.

Carter (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and will be ready to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter left Week 9's game, a Thursday night matchup, early with this hamstring ailment. It appears it was just a minor tweak, though, and he'll return to his reserve role Sunday.

Carter is out for the remainder of Thursday's game with a hamstring injury, Darryl Slater of the The New Jersey Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter's absence will hurt the Jets' depth at linebacker behind starters Demario Davis and Darron Lee. He will try to recover before the Jets take on the Buccaneers in Week 10.

Carter (ankle) was a full participant at the Jets' practice on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carter sustained the injury in the season opener against the Bills and was inactive for Week 2. The 29-year-old will likely return to his role as reserve inside linebacker and special teams contributor.

Carter (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Carter suffered this injury against the Bills in Week 1, but the severity wasn't clear. Either way, Carter is more of a special teams player than anything, and he wasn't slated for many snaps behind Demario Davis or Darron Lee, who combined for 24 tackles in the season opener.

Carter (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Bills, Darryl Slater of The Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter is mainly designated for special teams roles, but he occasionally fills in on defense. If he's unable to return, don't expect much to change with the dynamic of the Jets' defense, but fellow linebacker Julian Stanford may see more playing time if that's the case.
