The Jets traded Carter and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for wide receiver John Metchie and a 2027 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter's addition gives the Eagles more depth in the secondary, and the 2021 fifth-rounder could be thrust into a meaningful role against the Packers on Monday if Adoree' Jackson (concussion) is not cleared to play. Carter started in the first four games of the regular season before sustaining a concussion of his own and logged 13 tackles (nine solo) and two pass defenses over that span. He was cleared to return for the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals, though he did not start and played just 13 snaps (six on defense, seven on special teams) while logging one tackle.

Carter (concussion) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Carter was a full participant in practice leading up to the Jets' Week 7 contest against the Panthers, but the 2021 fifth-rounder was unable to suit up after failing to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol. He would have to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available for Sunday's road game against the Bengals.

Carter (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Carter was a full participant in practice all week, but the 2021 fifth-rounder has yet to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol. He would have to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be given the green light to play Sunday. Carter has missed the Jets' last two games after he sustained a concussion against the Dolphins in Week 4.

Carter (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Carter didn't travel with the team to London after sustaining a concussion in the Week 4 loss to Miami. The nickel cornerback's next chance to suit up will come in Week 7 against the Panthers, though Carter would first need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that Carter (concussion) is likely out for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter didn't travel with the Jets to London after sustaining a concussion in the team's Week 4 loss to the Dolphins, so it's no surprise he's expected to miss his second game in a row Sunday. Isaiah Oliver and Malachi Moore are expected to play increased defensive snaps in New York's secondary while Carter likely remains sidelined.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Carter (concussion) won't travel with the team for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos in London, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter missed the Jets' Week 5 loss to the Cowboys due to a concussion and is now in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest. Glenn noted that Carter may travel to London later in the week and join the team, but it's generally not a positive sign that he didn't travel with them initially. If the Duke product is sidelined again in Week 6, Isaiah Oliver and Malachi Moore will likely see increased work in the Jets' secondary.

Carter (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter sustained a concussion during the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Dolphins and wasn't able to clear protocol in time to play Sunday. The veteran corner from Duke has tallied 13 total tackles and two passes defended over New York's first four games this season. While he's sidelined in Week 5, expect Jarvis Brownlee and Qwan'tez Stiggers to see increased work with the Jets' first-team defense.
