News

  • Playing Sunday against Big Blue

    Carter (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Carter finished the week with consecutive limited practices, and the veteran linebacker has done enough to be cleared to play Sunday. In the three games since the Falcons' Week 12 bye, Carter has tallied nine tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble.

    Published: Sun, Dec 22 at 8:36am by Rotowire.com

  • Questionable vs. Giants

    Carter (groin) is questionable for Sunday's outing against the Giants, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Carter has played in all of Atlanta's matchups since the bye week, but it appears he's recently suffered a groin injury. The severity of the injury and whether he'll play versus New York both remain unknown, but there should be more indication prior to kickoff on Sunday.

  • Officially active for Week 11

    Carter (concussion) is active for Sunday's game in Denver, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carter was placed on injured reserve Oct. 17 due to a concussion. He subsequently missed the required four games before being designated to return this past Wednesday and activated off IR on Saturday. Carter had been playing about half of Atlanta's defensive snaps each week prior to his injury.

  • Activated from injured reserve

    The Falcons activated Carter (concussion) from injured reserve Saturday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Carter was concussed in Week 6 and missed the required four games while on injured reserve. After practicing in full this week, Carter appears to have a good chance of suiting up Sunday against the Broncos. He recorded 15 tackles (11 solo) through the first six games of the season prior to his injury.

  • Practices in full Thursday

    Carter (concussion) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carter remains on injured reserve and in the league's concussion protocols, but he could be close to returning from both after practicing without restrictions Thursday. If he's able to be cleared by an independent neurologist, Carter could be activated off IR and play against the Broncos on Sunday.

  • Practice window opens Wednesday

    The Falcons designated Carter (concussion) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: A concussion led Carter to be placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 7. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and he was estimated as a limited participant on the Falcons' injury report, per Tori McElhaney of the team's official site. Even if Carter were to practice in full this week, he'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to play against the Broncos on Sunday.

  • Lands on IR due to concussion

    The Falcons placed Carter (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Carter was unable to practice all week due to a concussion he sustained in Week 6 against the Panthers. His placement on injured reserve suggests Carter still has a long way to go before clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol. The 2018 third-round pick will be forced to miss at least the next four games, and he is eligible to return in Week 11 against the Broncos on Nov. 17. DeAngelo Malone, Arnold Ebiketie and James Smith-Williams are all candidates to see increased snaps on…read more

  • Missing first game in Week 7

    Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Carter (concussion) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carter has not practiced this week and has yet to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. Expect James Smith-Williams and Arnold Ebiketie to see additional reps with Atlanta's first-team defense in Carter's stead.

  • Still listed as starter

    Carter is listed as one of the starting outside linebackers on the Falcons' official depth chart, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons made a huge splash late in training camp by trading for Matthew Judon and signing Justin Simmons. Both newcomers are listed as backups on the depth chart, but that's expected to change as they get more acclimated to Atlanta's system. Carter and Arnold Ebiketie are expected to compete for the other starting outside linebacker spot when Judon is up to full speed.

  • Rotational role in 2023

    Carter finished 2023 with 35 tackles (24 solo), 3.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one pass defense in 17 appearances.

    Analysis: Despite not missing a game, Carter played less than half as many defensive snaps in 2023 (406) than he did in 2022 (877). Despite a drop in overall tackle numbers, Carter still made an occasional impact as a pass rusher. The 2018 third-round pick has one year remaining on his current deal, and he figures to handle a similar role in 2024, though he could see an uptick in snaps if Bud Dupree signs elsewhere this offseason.

  • Looks ready for Sunday

    Carter (neck) was a full participant at practice Friday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carter was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to manage a full practice Friday to put himself on track to play in Week 17. He projects to start on the edge Sunday.

  • Re-ups on two-year deal

    Carter is re-signing with the Falcons on a two-year contract Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Carter logged a career-high 58 tackles while appearing in all 17 games with the Falcons last season, his debut year with the team. He also notched four sacks, an interception and two passes defended along with a pick-six and one fumble recovery. After he emerged as a key edge rusher for Atlanta's defense in 2022, it makes sense for the team to keep him in house.

  • Pick-six in win

    Carter finished with four tackles (one solo) and one interception -- which he returned for a touchdown -- during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Carter picked off a PJ Walker pass intended for D'Onta Foreman near the end of the first half and returned it 28 yards for a score. Despite playing the majority of Atlanta's snaps, the fifth-year linebacker has recorded only 22 tackles across eight appearances this season, limiting his overall fantasy potential, but he does have 2.5 sacks and a now a pick-six on his resume.

  • Signs with Atlanta

    Carter signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Falcons on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Carter spent his first four seasons in the league with the Giants, but he really surged at the end of the 2021 campaign, registering five sacks in the final four games of the season. The Falcons will look to capitalize on the promise the 2018 third-round pick showed last year as they try to revamp their defense after losing Foyesade Oluokun to the Jaguars in free agency.

  • Sack streak continues

    Carter tallied six tackles (five solo) and one sack during Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Carter didn't notch a single sack in his first 10 appearances this season, but he's tallied four in the last three games. The starting linebacker will look to close out the campaign strong with a Week 18 divisional matchup against Washington.

  • Two sacks in Week 15

    Carter recorded four tackles (three solo), two sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Carter hadn't recorded any sacks across his first 10 appearances of the season, but he led the team in the category during Sunday's loss. He hasn't recorded more than four tackles in any of his appearances in 2021, and he now has 32 tackles (15 solo), two sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and two pass defenses across 11 games.

  • Will play Sunday

    Carter (ankle/illness) will play Sunday against the Eagles, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Carter will draw the start at linebacker opposite Azeez Ojulari after missing the previous three games. In his fourth season, Carter has 20 tackles (eight solo), a pass defensed and interception in seven games in 2021.

  • Ruled out Monday

    Carter (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carter was unable to practice this week due to a stomach illness and will miss a third straight game as a result. Quincy Roche and Cam Brown should see additional snaps in primetime.

  • Misses third practice

    Carter (ankle/illness) will not practice Friday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Carter has missed three straight practices due to a stomach illness, and prior to the Giants' bye week he also missed two consecutive games with an ankle injury. As such, the starting linebacker is looking iffy for Monday night's road matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Won't play Monday night

    Carter (ankle) has been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carter was unable to practice all week after picking up the injury in Week 7. Quincy Roche saw the largest increase in snaps once the 25-year-old was forced out and will likely fill in again.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Suffers ankle injury

    Carter suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's game against the Panthers and is questionable to return, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carter had already matched his season-high mark of four tackles in the game prior to exiting in the first half. Quincy Roche likely will have more opportunities in Carter's absence.

  • Taking part in OTAs

    Carter (Achilles) is participating in full-speed individual drills during the Giants' OTA, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Carter underwent season-ending Achilles' surgery following a rupture in mid-October of last year, so his participation in OTAs suggests he's made a relatively speedy recovery. Barring a setback of some kind later in the offseason program, Carter should be ready to retake his spot at outside linebacker after amassing 15 tackles (11 solo) and a sack over five games last season.

  • Shifts to injured reserve

    Carter (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old underwent season-ending Achilles surgery last week, so it was only a matter of time before the move to injured reserve. Carter will need to avoid any setbacks during his recovery to have a chance of playing early next season.

  • Goes under knife

    Carter underwent season-ending Achilles' surgery Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: The Giants have yet to officially place Carter on injured reserve after he ruptured his Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, but such a transaction is no doubt forthcoming. In his stead, Markus Golden figures to inherit a full-time role at outside linebacker.

  • Out with ruptured Achilles

    Carter suffered a ruptured Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was carted off the field with the Achilles issue during Sunday's contest, and further diagnosis confirmed a worst-case scenario. Carter figures to require surgery and should be placed on injured reserve in the near future.

    Published: Mon, Oct 12 at 1:17pm by Rotowire.com

  • Suffers Achilles injury

    Carter has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game versus the Cowboys after being carted off the field with an Achilles injury, Matt Lombardo of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: Carter suffered a noncontact Achilles injury, which often signals a season-ending injury. The Giants likely will run an MRI to confirm the diagnosis, but it's unfortunate news for an already struggling defense. Carter has recorded 15 tackles, a sack and a pass breakup this season.

  • Sack on Sunday

    Carter recorded four tackles, all solo, and a sack across 64 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Carter notched his first sack of 2020 after logging 4.5 sacks last season with the Giants. He missed a single snap on Sunday and trails only Blake Martinez for most snaps among linebackers this season for New York.

    Published: Mon, Sep 21 at 9:18pm by Rotowire.com

  • Wraps 2019 with 4.5 sacks

    Carter accumulated 45 tackles (25 solo), 4.5 sacks, five defended passes and one forced fumble across 15 contests in 2019.

    Analysis: Carter improved on his rookie stat line by two solo tackles, one defended pass and a half-sack. He's now logged 15 appearances in each of his first two seasons. The 24-year-old's consistency should earn him a similar role in New York's linebacker corps for 2020.

  • Ready for Week 17

    Carter (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

    Analysis: Carter began the week not progressing but worked as a full participant Friday to avoid the questionable tag. The 24-year-old should play his usual snap share for the Giants in the season finale.

  • Nursing knee injury

    Carter did not participate in the team's estimated practice report Wednesday due to a knee injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Carter was a new addition to the injury report, apparently picking up the issue in the team's Week 16 win over Washington. It's unclear whether he will be held out of the team's regular-season finale against the Eagles, though his participation in practice for the remainder of the week should provide more clarity.

  • Brings down quarterback

    Carter notched four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Carter suited up in 56 of 76 defensive snaps in the game, and now sits at 37 tackles (20 solo), 3.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in 10 games this year. The 23-year-old has carved a nice role for himself in the defense, as he's suited up in at least 50 snaps in nine of 10 games this season. He and the Giants defense will face a tough matchup when they take on Green Bay in Week 13.
