Returns to full practice
Carter (ankle) practiced Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Carter took part in both team and individual drills after a minor injury limited his participation the day before. His fantasy value took a huge hit when the Jets drafted Breece Hall this spring, but Carter should still get weekly touches as the No. 2 back and is the favorite to handle obvious passing downs.

Limited by minor ankle injury
Carter is dealing with a minor ankle injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: He was limited in Tuesday's practice but not held out entirely, suggesting his ankle injury isn't too much of a concern. Carter will be stuck in a backup role after the Jets drafted Breece Hall in the second round of the 2022 draft, but there will still be snaps available for the second-year UNC product, especially on passing downs.

Team adds young stud at RB
Carter will be joined by rookie second-round pick Breece Hall in New York's backfield, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hall was the first running back selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, as the Jets traded up two spots in the second round to grab him 36th overall. The Iowa State product is capable of playing a three-down role, but there still should be plenty of touches left over for Carter working alongside Hall. Carter proved capable of excelling in a timeshare while in college, as he topped 1,000 rushing yards in each of his final two years at UNC, despite splitting carries with Javonte Williams.

Rookie season ends with whimper
Carter carried the ball nine times for 19 yards and failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: The Jets' offense couldn't get much going on the ground or through the air in their season finale, and Zach Wilson ended up being the team's leading rusher with 24 yards. Carter showed flashes of upside in his first NFL campaign, finishing with 964 scrimmage yards through 14 games, and barring a significant offseason addition, he should be the primary option in the Jets' backfield in 2022.

Cleared for season finale
Carter (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully Thursday and Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Carter, who was forced out of last Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a concussion, having been cleared for Week 18 action, he's in line to head the Jets' backfield this weekend against the Bills, with Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson and Austin Walter also candidates to mix in. The 2021 fourth-rounder will look to finish his rookie season on a high note while facing a Buffalo defense that's allowing an average of 113.6 rushing yards per game.

Logs full practice
Carter (concussion) returned to a full practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: That's a big step in the right direction for the running back, who was a non-participant Wednesday. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Carter heads into the weekend minus a Week 18 injury designation, which hinges on him fully clearing the NFL's concussion protocol. If he does, he'd be in line to head the Jets backfield Sunday against the Bills, with Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson and Austin Walter also candidates to mix in.

Misses practice, could still play
Carter (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, but the Jets are optimistic he could play this Sunday against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brian Costello of the New York Post reports that Carter did some work on a side field Wednesday, suggesting he's already making progress through the NFL concussion protocol. The rookie got off to fast start in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay, ripping off a 50-yard run in the first quarter before a concussion forced him out of the game. Head Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Carter is "progressing well" and is expected back soon.

Concussion confirmed
Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Carter was placed in the concussion protocol after exiting Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Buccaneers, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Carter got off to a nice start Sunday with three carries for 54 yards to go with a nine-yard reception on the Jets' two scoring drives in the first quarter, but the head injury prevented him from turning in an even bigger performance. According to Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record, Saleh said the Jets are hopeful Carter can clear the five-step protocol ahead of the Week 18 game in Buffalo, so the rookie won't be shut down if he makes good progress in his recovery over the next few days.

Won't return to action Sunday
Carter won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after suffering a concussion, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Career-best rushing total in win
Carter rushed 16 times for 118 yards and caught two of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Carter set a new career high in rushing yards, easily topping his previous best of 77 from the Week 8 win over the Bengals. With their top three wide receivers injured, the Jets pounded Jacksonville's defense into submission with 273 yards on the ground. Carter was significantly more effective than Tevin Coleman, who rushed 14 times for 57 yards, while quarterback Zach Wilson chipped in 91 rushing yards, including a 52-yard touchdown.

Struggles in return
Carter (ankle) rushed eight times for 18 yards and caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Carter made his return after spending the previous three games on IR and split carries with Tevin Coleman, who gained 50 yards on his eight carries. The rookie looked tentative and tied his Week 1 career low with just 20 scrimmage yards, but Carter should shake off some of the rust in Week 16 against the Jaguars.

Activated ahead of Week 15
Carter (ankle) has been activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: The move was expected, after head coach Robert Saleh told Rich Cimini of ESPN.com that Carter -- in his first game action since Week 11 -- will have "a significant role" Sunday. With that in mind, look for the rookie to head the Jets' Week 15 rushing attack, with Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson also factoring in and Austin Walter and La'Mical Perine in reserve.

Set to return Sunday
Carter (ankle) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and coach Robert Saleh said the rookie will have "a significant role," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Carter was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and it appears the Jets will waste little time returning their talented rookie to the feature role in the backfield. Tevin Coleman (concussion) is also expected to return this week, so New York's backfield should be at full strength in Miami.

Designated to return from IR
The Jets designated Carter (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Carter, who suffered a low-grade high-ankle sprain Week 11, is a candidate to be activated from IR in advance of Sunday's game against Miami, barring any setbacks in his return to practice. Meanwhile, fellow running back Tevin Coleman (concussion) also looks on track to play, though he would likely move into a secondary role behind Carter if both backs get the green light to suit up this weekend.

Likely to return Week 15
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he expects Carter (ankle) to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game in Miami, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The rookie running back has been sidelined for New York's last three games with a low-grade ankle sprain, but he looks like he'll be in store for a minimum-length stay on IR. Before the Jets add him back to the roster, the team presumably will see how he checks out in their first Week 15 practice Wednesday, when he'll likely be designated for return from IR. If he demonstrates enough progress to get the green light for Sunday, Carter could immediately supplant Tevin Coleman (concussion) and Ty…read more

Placed on IR
The Jets placed Carter (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, ruling him out for Weeks 12 through 14, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Robert Saleh already hinted at a multi-game absence for Carter, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the rookie likely would be out 2-to-3 weeks with a low-grade high ankle sprain. The move to IR confirms Carter will miss a minimum of three missed games, with his next opportunity to play coming Week 15 against Miami.

Two-week absence confirmed
Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Carter will miss "a couple weeks" after he suffered a low-grade ankle sprain in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Saleh made the announcement minutes after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the injury would sideline Carter for 2-to-3 weeks. While the rookie is out of action for the Jets' Week 12 game in Houston and likely an additional contest to follow, expect the team to rely on the tandem of Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman as its main options out of the backfield.

Likely to miss multiple games
Carter was diagnosed Monday with a low-grade high-ankle sprain that will likely keep him sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Schefter's report indicates that Carter is dealing with either a Grade 1 or Grade 2 sprain after the running back was forced out of Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins with the injury. After the rookie running back exited the contest early in the third quarter, Tevin Coleman out-touched Ty Johnson by a 4-2 margin. Expect Coleman and Johnson to work in a loose timeshare while Carter is likely out for at least the next two games, with La'Mical Perine -- who was inactive Week 11 -- ranking third…read more

Finds paydirt in garbage time
Carter rushed 16 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Carter's one-yard touchdown came with the Jets trailing 38-3 in the fourth quarter, but they all count the same for fantasy, and the rookie running back has now scored in four of his last six games. He remains a steady contributor in the passing game, as well, having been targeted 31 times over the past four games while totaling at least 37 receiving yards in each of those. It's encouraging that Carter was able to contribute despite Mike White's horrendous 0:4 TD:INT, and Carter should maintain…read more

Garners 86 total yards in loss
Carter rushed 13 times for 49 yards and brought in one of two targets for 37 yards in the Jets' 45-30 loss to the Colts on Thursday night.
Analysis: Carter once again was the Jets' clear-cut leader in rushing touches and made excellent use of his one target as well. The rookie back's overall opportunities were limited by game script Thursday, but it was encouraging to see Carter log double-digit carries for the fifth straight contest anyhow. Carter's next matchup shapes up as an appreciably more difficult one, however, as the Jets host the Bills a week from Sunday in a Week 10 divisional clash.

Breakout performance in upset win
Carter rushed 15 times for 77 yards and a touchdown while adding nine catches for 95 yards on 14 targets in Sunday's 34-31 triumph over the Bengals.
Analysis: Carter was the featured option in the Jets' offense with starting quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) and top wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) both sidelined, as the rookie running back led the team in both rushing and receiving yards. He capped New York's opening drive with an eight-yard touchdown run, and Carter consistently made plays as both a rusher and a pass-catcher for a Jets offense that came alive in Mike White's first NFL start at quarterback.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Carter rushed 11 times for 37 yards and caught eight of nine targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Carter led the Jets in both rushing and receiving yards, but the strong effort was marred by the first fumble of the rookie's career. Backup quarterback Mike White checked down to Carter frequently after starter Zach Wilson left with a knee injury. If White remains under center, Carter likely would continue to play an outsize role in the passing game against the Bengals in Week 8 in addition to working as the top rushing option in the low-scoring Jets offense.

Reaches end zone again
Carter recorded 10 rushes for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He added three receptions for 20 yards.
Analysis: Carter accounted for 10 of the team's 18 rushing attempts, more than doubling the marks of both Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman. He wasn't particularly effective, as his longest rush went for only nine yards. However, he did plunge into the end zone for a two-yard score midway through the fourth quarter. Carter also supplemented his performance with a career-best three receptions. Though the performance wasn't overly impressive, Carter continues to operate as the team's top back heading into a…read more

Gets first TD in first NFL win
Carter rushed 13 times for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching one of three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Tennessee.
Analysis: Carter scored his first career touchdown on a two-yard run in the second quarter. He didn't find much running room, but Carter was clearly the team's primary running back option over Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson, who combined for seven rushing attempts and four targets. The rookie fourth-round pick will likely find more space to operate in Week 5, when the Jets jet over to London to face the Falcons.

Limited work as backfield leader
Carter recorded nine rushes for 24 yards in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions for five yards.
Analysis: With Tevin Coleman (illness) sidelined, Carter took over as the primary back for the Jets. However, the team's overall offensive ineffectiveness limited his potential to produce as the team had only 13 total rushing attempts. Carter did show bits of promise, picking up gains of eight and five yards while also recording a reception of 10 yards. It remains to be seen whether Coleman can return for the Jets' Week 4 clash against the Titans. If he can't, Carter should have a better matchup on the…read more

Time-share with Johnson on tap
With Tevin Coleman ruled out with a non-COVID-19 illness, Carter and Ty Johnson are in line to head the Jets backfield Sunday against the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A Carter/Johnson timeshare alreadywas in play this week after both backs logged 33 snaps in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Patriots, with Carter recording 11 carries for 59 yards along with two catches for 29 yards, and Johnson carrying 12 times for 50 yards. However, with Coleman (five carries for 24 yards) unavailable this weekend, the Jets should feature a clear one-two punch of Carter and Johnson on Sunday, with La'Mical Perine and/or Josh Adams on hand to serve in a reserve capacity.

Carter rushed 11 times for 59 yards and caught two of three targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 25-6 loss to New England.
Analysis: Carter and Ty Johnson (12 carries for 50 yards) split primary running back duties, with Tevin Coleman (five carries for 24 yards) mixing in. The rookie fourth-round pick is quickly ascending toward the top of New York's backfield depth chart, and Carter has shown some nice burst in the early going. On the other hand, the Jets are unlikely to abandon the committee approach and have produced only 20 points through two games, so it's tough to trust anybody in their offense heading into a Week 3…read more

Five touches in first game
Carter rushed four times for 16 yards and added a 14-yard catch on two targets in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Carter and Ty Johnson each had four carries and one catch, while Tevin Coleman added nine carries without a target as New York rotated the three running backs fairly evenly. The rookie fourth-round pick has the most upside in the crowded Jets backfield, but it could take some time for Carter to separate himself from the alternative options as he acclimates to the NFL. Fantasy managers in shallow formats will likely try to avoid New York's backfield in general against the Patriots in Week 2.

Healthy for NFL debut
Carter (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Jets' injury report for Sunday's game at Carolina.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick missed some practices in late August with an unspecified issue, finishing the summer on a down note after some hype early on in training camp. Carter is still expected to get snaps on offense Week 1, but likely as part of a backfield committee with Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson.

Fantasy attention followed, but recent indicators point more toward a Gang Green backfield committee with three or even four players involved.

Carter carried the ball seven times for 12 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Friday's preseason tie against the Eagles.
Analysis: With Tevin Coleman held out of the preseason finale and La'Mical Perine (foot) banged up, Carter and Ty Johnson split snaps in the backfield with the first-team offense. Johnson overshadowed the rookie however, as did Josh Adams, who didn't see the field until later in the first half.

Fourth back in game Saturday
Carter gained 52 rushing yards on 10 carries and lost one yard while catching his only target in Saturday's preseason win over the Packers.
Analysis: While his numbers were good, the context was not -- Carter didn't see action until the third quarter and was the fourth Jets back in the game, entering after Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson and La'Mical Perine had already gotten snaps. The team's initial depth chart had listed him fourth as well, and while Carter is seen to have more upside than the RBs he's competing with, the 2021 fourth-round pick may have to earn his touches as the regular season progresses rather than seeing big volume right out…read more

Carter rushed seven times for 22 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Saturday's 12-7 preseason win over the Giants.
Analysis: Carter's expected to carve out a prominent role in New York's backfield as a rookie, and he split work with Ty Johnson in the first half here in a possible preview of his usage pattern. Tevin Coleman also figures to mix in frequently, but the veteran running back was held out of this one. Carter will likely handle a comparable workload against the Packers in Week 2 of preseason.

Looks to carve out role in offense
Rich Cimini of ESPN.com suggests that while Carter "might not be the (Jets') starting running back, per se," the fourth-rounder's "early work with the first team suggests he will be involved."
Analysis: Based on Carter's ADP this summer, it's clear that the North Carolina product is viewed as the upside play in the Jets backfield, which could well emerge as a committee situation early on this season. Even if the rookie isn't officially acknowledged as the team's top back once Week 1 rolls around, we expect him to make a mark out of the gate, nonetheless, with the 5-foot-8, 201-pounder's pass-catching ability providing utility to the team's offense.

Gang Green's top RB in camp
Carter was described as "a step above" the Jets' other running backs in camp by Connor Hughes of The Athletic.
Analysis: Carter has worked with the first-team offense, though Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson and La'Mical Perine remain on hand to jostle for playing time. The rookie fourth-round pick split time with Broncos second-rounder Javonte Williams at UNC, and there are concerns about whether Carter's 5-foot-8, 201-pound frame can hold up through the rigors of a starter's workload in the NFL, but Carter looks like the leading candidate to top the Jets' backfield in touches this season if he can stay healthy.

Opens camp with starters
Carter lined up with the starting offense Wednesday at the first practice of training camp, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With fellow rookie Zach Wilson still unsigned, Carter was joined on the first unit by quarterback Mike White, receivers Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder and Keelan Cole and tight end Tyler Kroft. The rookie running back out of North Carolina may still end up in a committee, but it's increasingly clear he's expected to fill a big role, perhaps even as the starter or lead back. Carter is competing with Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson, La'Mical Perine, Josh Adams and Austin Walter in the New York backfield.

Earns coach's praise
Carter has impressed head coach Robert Saleh so far, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports. "Michael's got tremendous vision," Saleh said. "He's got tremendous speed, burst. He's got the ability to make people miss. He's good on third down, coming out of the backfield in the pass game, and he's pretty stout in protection."
Analysis: Saleh's praise of Carter's ability in pass protection is especially notable, as a lack of that skill often limits young running backs' playing time. The rookie fourth-round pick may not have the size to take on a workhorse role at 5-foot-8 and 201 pounds, but Carter could work as the Jets' third-down back from from the get-go, playing a similar role to Nyheim Hines in Indianapolis. Having averaged 8.0 yards per carry at UNC last season, Carter has the highest ceiling in the crowded Jets…read more
