Carpenter was handed a six-game suspension by the NFL on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter has been a free agent to this point in 2024 and he'll now be unavailable until late November as a result of his suspension. The linebacker was arrested in December while he was a member of the Steelers' practice squad and the suspension is likely related to that incident.

The Steelers elevated Carpenter from the practice squad Saturday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the third time Carpenter has been called up from the practice squad. This means that the Steelers will have to sign him to the active roster if the team wishes to play him the rest of the season. Carpenter has played 21 snaps on special teams in two games and has one tackle.

Carpenter was waived by the Packers on Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old was picked in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft and appeared in 14 games last season, playing primarily on special teams. Carpenter was cut loose to make room for new safety Zayne Anderson, whom the Packers claimed off waivers Wednesday.

Carpenter (back) is practicing Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was unable to practice earlier in the week, but he's now fully healed and partaking in the team's joint practice with the Patriots ahead of their preseason game Saturday.

Carpenter did not practice Sunday because of a back injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was added to the DNP list Sunday after he recorded two tackles in Friday's 36-19 win over the Bengals. More information on his status will likely come as the week progresses ahead of Green Bay's second preseason contest Saturday versus the Patriots.

Carpenter (undisclosed) was participating during Packers camp Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was placed on the active/NFI list on July 25 but has since had time to move past the issue. The 2022 seventh-round pick appeared in 14 games for Green Bay last season, primarily as a special teamer. Expect the 24-year-old to compete for a depth spot in the Packers' safety room ahead of the coming season in the wake of the offseason departure of Adrian Amos.

Carpenter (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter will open camp on the sidelines as he nurses an undisclosed injury, but he will be eligible to return to practice and play at any point this preseason. Once healthy, the 24-year-old is expected to play interior linebacker in 2023.

Carpenter has been practicing as an interior linebacker ahead of the 2023 season, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Carpenter's move to interior linebacker has been underway for a while saying he's "been working there all offseason". As a 6-foot-3, 230-pound athlete, the 24-year-old may be better suited for his new role in 2023. As a safety during his rookie season last year, Carpenter logged just 16 snaps on defense while mostly operating as a special-teams option, which could change in his sophomore campaign.

Carpenter (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants in London, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie seventh-round pick made his NFL debut in last week's overtime win over the Patriots, playing six snaps on special teams. He picked up an abdominal injury coming out of that contest and was limited in practice throughout the week, but he'll be ready to go for the matchup with the Giants. Expect Carpenter to continue to see most of his opportunities on the Packers' coverage units.

Carpenter (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carpenter was a limited participant during each practice session this week with an abdominal injury, ultimately leaving his Week 5 availability against the Giants in jeopardy. The rookie seventh-round pick amassed just six special teams snaps in Sunday's 27-24 overtime victory over the Patriots, but Carpenter and Dallin Leavitt are candidates to see increased action in London this weekend if fellow safety Adrian Amos (concussion) is unable to gain medical clearance.
