Jets RB Michael Carter has low-ankle sprain, considered day-to-day
The Jets received good news regarding the injury to running back Michael Carter, who left Sunday's win over the Bears with a lower-body injury.
On Monday, Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that Carter only has a low-ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day. Saleh mentioned the talented running back has a chance to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Low-ankle sprains are obviously better than high-ankle sprains. If that had been the case, Carter would likely have been out for at least a month.
The Jets have running backs that can hold the fort while Carter is sidelined. Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight combined for 131 rushing yards on 19 attempts. Both players helped lead the Jets to a 31-10 win over the Chicago Bears.
Other injury updates from Monday include linebacker Chazz Surratt (hamstring), Ashtyn Davis (hamstring) and Cedric Ogbuehi (groin) all being questionable for the week and day-to-day, similar to Carter.
The Jets will have more information on all these players Wednesday.
