Logs limited practice Thursday

Carter (back) was a Rich Cimini of ESPN.com in Thursday's practice, Rich reports. 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.
DNP on Wednesday's estimate

Carter (back) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. 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.
Won't play Sunday

Carter (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. 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.
Still dealing with back issue

Carter (back) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. 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.
Questionable to return Sunday

Carter exited Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a back injury. Carter did not record a statistic before exiting Sunday's contest. He totaled 23 tackels and one pass defended across 11 appearances coming into Week 15. In Carter's absence, it's likely that Isaiah Oliver will step in at slot cornerback for the Jets.
Good to go vs. Arizona

Carter (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Carter suffered a back injury in Week 8 against the Texans, but after logging a full practice Friday, he will suit up for Sunday's game. Across seven regular-season games, Carter has logged 14 tackles (11 solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery.
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. 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. 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. 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.
