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.

Carter (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Carter (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Carter entered the weekend deemed questionable to play while nursing a shoulder injury, but the issue won't keep him out of the Week 3 matchup versus the Bucs. Carter should thus assume his regular role handling most of the defensive snaps in the slot.

EDGE Analysis

The starting corner made two solo tackles before leaving the contest. Carter finished with four tackles (three solo) and a pass breakup on 36 defensive snaps in the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Steelers.

Carter "said he's completely healthy" again after dealing with a back injury during the 2024 season, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The cornerback didn't fully heal from the injury until February, per Rosenblatt. Carter had a disappointing 2024 after signing a three-year, $30.75 million extension before the season started, missing four games due to injury, playing far fewer snaps than he did in 2023 (647 to 263), starting five fewer contests (six to one) and setting career lows in tackles (24) and pass breakups (one). This year, the 2021 fifth-round pick will try to return to the form of his first few seasons, when he recorded at least 50 tackles and five pass breakups in each campaign.

Carter recorded 24 total tackles (20 solo) and one pass defended over 13 games in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Carter nursed a back injury for most of the regular season, which sidelined him for four games. Additionally, Carter played 384 fewer defensive snaps (647 snaps in 2023 compared to 263 in 2024) and made five fewer starts (six starts in 2023 to one in 2024), contributing to an immense decline in tackles (26 fewer) and passes defended (eight fewer) in 2024. The Duke product inked a three-year, $30.75 million extension with the Jets in September of 2024 and is under contract through the 2027 season. He's expected to remain one of the Jets' top slot defenders in 2025.
