Good to go for Week 1
Carter (ankle) was left off the Jets' injury report Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter was limited during training camp due to an ankle injury he sustained in late July. He appears to be fully recovered from the injury, and he will be good to go for Monday's regular-season opener against the 49ers. Carter signed a three-year, $33 million contract extension with the Jets on Tuesday after totalling 50 tackles (37 solo), nine pass deflections and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games in 2023.

No extension talks
Carter has yet to engage in contract extension talks with the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old is headed into the final year of his rookie contract after being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 Draft, and he's coming off a season in which he led all nickel cornerbacks in a number of statistical categories. The Jets have some tough decisions to make in their secondary, though, as starting boundary corners Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed will both potentially be looking for new deals after the 2024 season. That may not leave much cap room to also extend Carter, despite his strong play last year.
