Carter rushed once for two yards and caught two of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Carter was used sparingly while Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight racked up eight rushing attempts apiece, totaling 46 and 27 yards, respectively. New York's injury-riddled offense has fallen apart down the stretch, and Carter hasn't mustered more than 21 rushing yards in a game since Week 9. The 2021 fourth-round pick will wrap up his second NFL season against the Dolphins in Week 18.

Carter rushed twice for six yards and brought in all five targets for 44 yards in the Jets' 19-3 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

The conventional Jets ground attack was an abject failure Thursday -- Carter, Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson combined for 11 yards on 10 carries -- but Carter found a way to salvage his night somewhat with his work through the air. The second-year back paced the Jets in receptions and receiving yards, with both totals also serving as his second highest of the campaign. Given the general state of disarray the Jets' offense is in, it's difficult to predict if there will be a clear-cut early-down back between Carter and Knight in a Week 17 road matchup against the vulnerable Seahawks run defense a week from Sunday.

Carte rushed four times for 15 yards and caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

After going without a touch well into the third quarter, Carter made a spectacular play to bail out quarterback Zach Wilson, plucking a sitting duck of a throw out of the air for a 16-yard gain. Carter was rewarded with rushing attempts on the next two plays, which went for a combined nine yards. He added two more carries over the course of the game and was more effective on a per-touch basis than Zonovan Knight, who mustered only 23 yards on 13 carries. Carter may get more touches Thursday against the Jaguars if Knight struggles early, though New York could also opt to reintroduce James Robinson (coach's decision) into the backfield mix against Robinson's former team.

Carter (ankle) rushed five times for five yards and caught three of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to Buffalo. He also lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Carter ceded most of the backfield opportunities to Zonovan Knight, who rushed for 71 yards and New York's only touchdown on 17 attempts. The former also lost a crucial fumble just outside the red zone with the Jets trailing by 11 in the fourth quarter. This disastrous performance won't help Carter cut into Knight's workload in Week 15, though there could be enough opportunities to go around for both Jets running backs to find success against the leaky Lions run defense.

Carter (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Carter is back in action following a one-game absence, and with James Robinson a healthy scratch, the former will be part of a Week 14 backfield that also includes Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson. When healthy, Carter had been serving as the Jets' top back since Breece Hall suffered a season-ending knee injury Week 7, but Rich Cimini of ESPN.com suggests that Knight could claim a larger portion of the team's carries versus Buffalo on the heels of two straight strong efforts in relief of injured Carter.

Carter (ankle) is slated to practice fully Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter is thus poised to return to action this Sunday against the Bills following a one-game absence. The second-year is expected to reclaim a solid share of the Jets' backfield touches, though head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Zonovan Knight is in line to remain part of the rotation, according to Al Iannazzone of Newsday. Ty Johnson and James Robinson round out the Jets' backfield ranks, with one of the two likely to be a healthy inactive this weekend.

Carter (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Carter, who is dealing with a reported low-ankle sprain, didn't practice this past week before being deemed doubtful for the contest. In Carter's absence, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network relays via coach Robert Saleh that the Jets plan to utilize a backfield-by-committee in Week 13 that will include rookie Zonovan Knight, Ty Johnson and James Robinson. Of the three, Knight, who carried 14 times for 69 yards and caught all three of his targets for 34 yards in relief of Carter last weekend versus Chicago, looks like the upside play, though Johnson (five carries for 62 yards and TD, plus one catch for 16 yards against the Bears) should also factor in, while Robinson (a healthy scratch last week) will look to reclaim a role in New York's backfield in his return to the mix. Carter's next chance to return to the lineup will arrive in Week 14 when the Jets face the Bills on the road.

Carter (ankle) didn't practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at Minnesota, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter was forced out of this past Sunday's win against the Bears with what eventually was termed a low-ankle sprain, which left him day-to-day. However, with no practice reps under his belt this week, he seems destined to be among the Jets' inactives this weekend. If Carter is unable to play, the Jets likely will roll with Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson at running back, though James Robinson also could join the mix if he isn't a health scratch for a second straight game.

Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Carter (ankle) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Vikings, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday, and it appears his outlook hasn't significantly improved Friday. Carter isn't expected to be available Sunday in Minnesota, which opens the door for Ty Johnson, Zonovan Knight and possibly  James Robinson to take on expanded roles in Week 13.

Carter (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter didn't practice Wednesday, so what he's able to do Friday will be key with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Vikings. If Carter ends up missing the contest, Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson would be in line for expanded roles in Week 13, while James Robinson, who was a healthy inactive this past weekend, could also reenter the Jets' backfield mix.
