Carter will need surgery to fix the fractured fibula he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Master Tesfatsion of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter's 2017 season was likely over whether surgery was deemed necessary or not, but this all but confirms it. The Redskins defense is unlikely to be affected in a major way since the 28-year-old mostly served as a special teams player.

Carter sustained a fractured fibula in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Kimberley A. Martin of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter suffered the injury in the second half and was ruled out shortly thereafter, and it would seem as though his 2017 season is over. The 28-year-old has only seven tackles on the season coming into Sunday, and has mostly been a special teams contributor for the Redskins.

Carter signed with the Redskins on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

A 2011 fifth-round selection, Carter has bounced around the league as a special teams contributor and depth linebacker, recording 26 tackles in 62 regular-season games. He'll likely be buried on the defensive depth chart in Washington, with special teams once again representing his best chance to contribute.

Carter (shoulder) will play in Week 17 against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Carter entered Sunday a bit of a question mark, but got in limited practice sessions both Wednesday and Thursday. He's not a huge playmaker on defense, so his presence on the field shouldn't make a major impact.

Carter (shoulder) is questionable to play in Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Carter elevated to full-participant status Friday. Thus, barring any sort of setback between now and kickoff, he should ultimately be cleared to play.

EDGE Analysis

Carter's absence likely won't have much of an impact on the Colts' defense, while Erik Walden and Robert Mathis continue to start at outside linebacker.

Carter (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Signed three weeks ago, Carter was inactive during his first game with the Colts prior to the team's Week 10 bye. However, his complete practice Wednesday suggests he is ready to make his debut in Indianapolis.
