Carter gained 52 rushing yards on 10 carries and lost one yard while catching his only target in Saturday's preseason win over the Packers.
While his numbers were good, the context was not -- Carter didn't see action until the third quarter and was the fourth Jets back in the game, entering after Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson and La'Mical Perine had already gotten snaps. The team's initial depth chart had listed him fourth as well, and while Carter is seen to have more upside than the RBs he's competing with, the 2021 fourth-round pick may have to earn his touches as the regular season progresses rather than seeing big volume right out of the gate.
