Carter was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week, and from the words of Saleh, it sounds like he has not improved much in a day.

With Carter not expected to be available this week, that could give James Robinson the starting role at running back again, after he was a healthy scratch last Sunday. Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight could also see increased roles.

In 11 games this season, the twenty-three-year-old has 370 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 99 attempts.
