Traded to Philadelphia
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.
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…read more

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.

Not traveling to London
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.
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.

Ready to go
Carter "said he's completely healthy" again after dealing with a back injury during the 2024 season, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The cornerback didn't fully heal from the injury until February, per Rosenblatt.

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.

Carter finished the 2023 season with 50 tackles (37 solo) and nine passes defensed over 15 games.
Analysis: Carter was among the league's top performing nickel cornerbacks while Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed patrolled the outside for a Jets secondary that allowed the fewest catches, receiving yards and touchdowns to wide receivers in 2023. While Carter's 50 tackles were a career low, he posted nine passes defensed for a second consecutive season.

Team cautious with injury
Carter (elbow) did not return to Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Jets, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Carter reportedly could have returned to the game, but the Jets were content with taking the cautious approach with their nickel cornerback. The 24-year-old seems likely to be able to play in Week 3 versus New England, but more information on his status should come when New York returns to practice this week.

Dodges injury report
Carter (ankle) wasn't listed on the Jets' injury report Wednesday, per the team's official site.
Analysis: Carter was forced out of New York's Week 13 loss to the Vikings due to an apparent ankle injury, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report implies that the issue is no longer a concern.

Carter (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Carter was forced out with a chest injury at some point during the second half, leaving him with less than one quarter to return before the end of this contest.

Has pick-six negated
Carter totaled seven solo tackles, one tackle for loss and an interception in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Carter intercepted Mac Jones in the second quarter. Two drives later, Carter made another interception and took it to the house, but the play was negated by a questionable roughing the passer penalty on John Franklin-Myers. That play proved to be the turning point in the game, as the Patriots went on to outscore New York 19-7 after Carter's pick-six was taken off the board.
