Questionable for Week 13 Carter (wrist) is questionable to play against the 49ers on Sunday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Carter was placed on injured reserve Oct. 25 due to a wrist injury. He has been sidelined for the Bills' last four regular-season games, and he has a good chance at being activated before the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline Saturday after logging full practices all week.

Impact A third-round pick at No. 95 overall out of Duke in the 2024 NFL Draft, Carter logged 183 defensive snaps and another 19 on special teams across the first seven games of the season.

Lands on IR with wrist injury Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Carter was placed on injured reserve and will undergo wrist surgery, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Impact The rookie third-round pick was limited in practice all week due to a wrist injury he likely picked up during the Bills' Week 7 win over the Titans, during which he registered three solo tackles across 30 defensive snaps. A stint on injured reserve means Carter will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season contests, making Week 13 against the 49ers on Sunday, Dec. 1 the earliest he could return. While Carter is sidelined, Austin Johnson and Zion Logue will serve as the Bills' backup defensive tackles behind DaQuan Jones and Ed Oliver.
