Carter (ankle) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and coach Robert Saleh said the rookie will have "a significant role," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and it appears the Jets will waste little time returning their talented rookie to the feature role in the backfield. Tevin Coleman (concussion) is also expected to return this week, so New York's backfield should be at full strength in Miami.
