Good to go vs. Arizona Carter (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Tagged as questionable for Week 10 Carter (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carter opened the week with a DNP on Wednesday, but he has steadily increased his practice participation over the week, which culminated in a full session Friday. Even though he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game, the 2021 fifth-round pick appears to be trending towards being able to suit up.

Returns to practice Thursday Carter (back) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carter suffered a back injury during the Jets' Week 9 win over the Texans. He opened the week with a DNP on Wednesday, but he was able to return for Thursday's session, indicating that he is progressing through the injury. If Carter is able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, he should be tagged as questionable heading into Sunday's game against Arizona.

Logs DNP on Wednesday Carter (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carter sustained a back injury in the Jets' Week 9 win over the Texans, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing Week 10's matchup against the Cardinals. If the Duke product is unable to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, Isaiah Oliver will likely serve as the Jets' top slot corner Sunday.

Questionable to return Carter (back) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Texans.

Past back injury Carter (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A back injury prevented Carter from suiting up for the Jets' last two games, but he appears to be over the issue and he should return for Sunday's game against the Patriots, barring any setbacks. While Carter and starting corner D.J. Reed are trending towards playing Sunday, the Jets could be without top safeties Tony Adams (hamstring) and Ashtyn Davis (concussion), both of whom have missed the first two practices of the week.

Limited to open Week 8 prep Carter (back) was a limited participant during Wednesday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carter has been sidelined for the last three games due to a back injury he sustained during pregame warmups before the Jets' Week 5 contest against the Vikings in London. Wednesday is the first time since the injury that Carter has practiced, which is a step in the right direction for the 2021 fifth-round pick. Carter's practice participation over the next two days will provide a better idea of whether he'll return for Sunday's contest against the Patriots.

Missing another week Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters Friday that Carter (back) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Carter sustained a back injury in pregame warmups before the Jets' Week 5 loss to the Vikings and hasn't practiced since, so it's no surprise that he'll miss his second consecutive game in Week 7. Expect Isaiah Oliver to serve as the Jets' top slot corner while Carter continues to work back from his injury.
