Michael Carter (ankle) practicing for Jets in full
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) is a full practice participant on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Carter is set to return from a one-game absence and play in Week 14 versus the Buffalo Bills. Following the emergence of rookie Zonovan Knights over the last two weeks, Carter will have more competition for touches than he did before the injury. Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Knight is "not going anywhere" when asked about the rookie's role moving forward.
The Jets are facing the third-best run defense in the league, according to numberFire's adjusted efficiency metrics, and they are nearly a double-digit dog to the Bills, so it's not an attractive matchup for Carter or Knight. The rookie has been more efficient (0.04 EPA/rush) than Carter (negative-0.12) through two games.
