Dropped by Cincinnati
The Bengals waived Carter on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Carter, a 2022 third-round pick out of Florida, had appeared in all four of the Bengals' games this season before being waived. He tallied nine total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, while playing 166 total snaps (147 defensive and 19 on special teams). Carter is now free to sign elsewhere, and he could be picked up and played as a rotational interior defensive lineman sooner rather than later.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Adds 20 pounds of muscle
Carter put on 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason and is playing at 310 pounds in OTAs, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter struggled to find a defined role as a rookie, as he was undersized for playing on the interior of the defensive line at 290 pounds. Heading into his second NFL season, Carter is penciled in as the backup defensive tackle behind B.J. Hill, and the 2022 third-round pick has put on additional weight to help fill that role.
