Carter may be dealing with an injury, as he was in the rehab area at Monday's practice, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been an interesting summer for the fourth-round pick, starting with the first week of training camp when he reportedly got regular work with the first-team offense. Fantasy attention followed, but recent indicators point more toward a Gang Green backfield committee with three or even four players involved. Given his age, draft position and receiving ability, Carter remains the upside play among the bunch, though it isn't clear who out of him, Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson or even La'Mical Perine (foot) will get the most work. The rookie finished his first NFL preseason with a respectable stat line -- 24 carries for 86 yards and three catches for 15 yards on three targets -- but it seems he may have gotten banged up in Friday's exhibition with the Eagles. Carter has two weeks to get ready for the season opener at Carolina on Sept. 12.
