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.

Impact The cornerback didn't fully heal from the injury until February, per Rosenblatt. Carter had a disappointing 2024 after signing a three-year, $30.75 extension before the season started, missing four games due to injury, playing far fewer snaps than he did in 2023 (647 to 263), starting five fewer contests (six to one) and setting career lows in tackles (24) and pass breakups (one). This year, the 2021 fifth-round pick will try to return to the form of his first few seasons, when he recorded at least 50 tackles and five pass breakups in each campaign.

Pick of 'mauler' Membou kicked off Jets' NFL draft search for players who fit their new 'brand'

Armand Membou described himself as a mauler as an offensive tackle and that was one of the reasons the New York Jets liked him as the No. 7 overall pick in the NFL draft

APRIL 26, 2025 • Associated Press

Misses four games in 2024 Carter recorded 24 total tackles (20 solo) and one pass defended over 13 games in 2024.

Impact Carter nursed a back injury for most of the regular season, which sidelined him for four games. 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. The Duke product inked a three-year, $30.75 million extension with the Jets in September of 2024 and is under contract through the 2027 season. He's expected to remain one of the Jets' top slot defenders in 2025.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play against Bills Carter (back) is active for Sunday's AFC East clash against Buffalo.

Impact The 2021 fifth-round pick was sidelined in Week 16 against the Rams due to a back injury. Carter managed to end the week with consecutive limited practices, which was enough for him to be cleared to play Sunday. He will serve as the Jets' slot corner while Isaiah Oliver provides depth at the position. Carter has registered 23 tackles (20 solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return in Week 17 Carter (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carter opened the Jets' week of practice as a non-participant due to a back injury, but he upgraded to limited work Thursday and Friday, giving himself a chance to return in Week 17. The Duke product is expected to serve as the Jets' top slot corner if he can play in Sunday's divisional matchup. If Carter is sidelined for his fourth game this season, Isaiah Oliver is likely to see increased snaps with the Jets' first-team defense.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Thursday Carter (back) was a Rich Cimini of ESPN.com in Thursday's practice, Rich reports.

Impact Carter didn't play against the Rams in Week 16 due to a back injury. He would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's AFC East bout against the Bills if he were to log a full practice Friday. Isaiah Oliver would be slated for an expanded role as the Jets' top slot corner if Carter is unable to play.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DNP on Wednesday's estimate Carter (back) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carter was unable to play in Week 16 against the Rams due to a back injury he suffered against the Jaguars in Week 15. Wednesday's report was an estimate as the Jets didn't practice, so Carter's participation over the next two days will determine whether he'll be cleared to play against the Bills on Sunday.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Carter (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carter exited the Jets' Week 15 win over the Jaguars after sustaining a back injury, and he was unable to practice all week, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Isaiah Oliver is likely to serve as the Jets' top slot cornerback in Carter's stead in Week 16.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still dealing with back issue Carter (back) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Carter was forced out of Sunday's contest at Jacksonville early by a back injury, and now his availability for Week 16 seems to be in jeopardy. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play Sunday versus the Rams.
