The Dolphins released Carter on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carter did not record a single reception last season, as he appeared in just one game due to a concussion. The 2017 undrafted free agent will now look for a playing opportunity elsewhere, and while he shouldn't be expected to contribute on offense, he will bring great special teams value to wherever he ends up.

Miami placed Carter (concussion) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter has not played this season since suffering a concussion in the Dolphins' season opener versus New England. Now he'll have to miss at least the team's next four games as he works his way back onto the field.

Carter (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter will miss a fourth straight game due to a concussion. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 6 against the Vikings, but due to his prolonged absence, the Dolphins will presumably be cautious with the reserve tight end even when he's cleared for practice.

Carter (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter has missed three straight games due to a concussion and remains in protocols ahead of Week 5. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, but given his prolonged absence, the Dolphins will likely be cautious before thrusting him back into game action.

Carter (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game in Cincinnati, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter will miss a third straight contest as he works his way through the concussion protocol. Hunter Long (ankle) also appears in danger of missing Week 3, so Tanner Conner could get another chance to handle the No. 3 gig behind Mike Gesicki and Adam Shaheen.

Carter (concussion) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter has missed the last two games due to his concussion, and his status on Monday's practice estimation isn't encouraging. If he hopes to play Thursday against Cincinnati, he'll likely need to return to the practice field in some capacity over the next few days.

Carter (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter will miss a second straight game after suffering a concussion during the season opener. Hunter Long (ankle) also remains out, so Tanner Conner will continue to operate as the backup behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe.

Carter (concussion) was not present at the open portion of Miami's practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter suffered a concussion during a kickoff in Week 1 and has been sidelined since. Regardless of whether he'll be available for Sunday's game versus Buffalo, the Dolphins seem content to use a combination of blocker Durham Smythe and route-runner Mike Gesicki at tight end.

Carter (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter suffered a concussion during a kickoff in Week 1 and will be sidelined for at least one additional contest. He garnered a small role (five total snaps) in the season opener, so his absence shouldn't impact much.

Miami coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Carter is in concussion protocol, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter went down after suffering a scary head injury on a kickoff during the Dolphins' season-opening win over the Patriots on Sunday. The fifth-year tight end, who played 265 of his 312 total snaps on special teams in 2021, will now look to pass through the NFL's concussion protocols heading into the team's Week 2 matchup against the Ravens on Sept. 18.
