Carle (hip) said Saturday that he anticipates returning to the Bolts' lineup next Saturday against the Jets, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Carle didn't close off the possibility of a return for the final game of the team's road trip Thursday in Boston, but that would seem to represent a best-case scenario for the blueliner. He's been out since January after going surgery to repair torn adductor muscles in his hip. Look for him to resume taking increased contact in practices within the next few days.
