Published: 2024-10-06
Carter (ribs) is active Sunday against the Panthers.
Carter opened Week 5 as a DNP, but he returned to close out the week with limited sessions, paving the way for him to take the field. He'll handle return duties for the Bears against Carolina, with likely limited opportunities on offense.

Questionable for Week 5
Published: 2024-10-04
Carter (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Friday that Carter has been progressing throughout the week, so it appears the 31-year-old could be a game-time decision Sunday. If Carter's ribs injury is too much to overcome, expect Velus Jones to serve as Chicago's top kick and punt returner.
Makes progress
Published: 2024-10-03
Carter (ribs) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Carter logged a DNP on Wednesday, so this is a step in the right direction for the veteran wideout and return man. However, his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers remains in question. If he's unable to play, the team may have Velus Jones active for the first time since Week 1 to handle return duties in the kicking game.
Missing practice
Published: 2024-10-02
Carter (ribs) will not practice Wednesday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Carter presumably suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Rams, although that's not clear. The veteran wideout will work to return to the practice field Thursday or Friday, in an effort to suit up Week 5 against the Panthers.
Six targets in defeat
Published: 2024-09-22
Carter caught three passes for 22 yards in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Carter continues to see a regular role in the Chicago offense while Keenan Allen (heel) is sidelined. As long as Carter remains in a that role, he'll continue to function as a possession receiver. Once Allen returns, Carter is likely to be a core special teamer who sees occasional snaps on offense.
Four targets in defeat
Published: 2024-09-16
Carter caught three passes for 32 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Carter was been the replacement for Keenan Allen when the veteran missed snaps in Week 1 and in this game against the Texans when Allen was inactive. It's unlikely that Carter will see regular targets when Chicago's top-three receivers are healthy. However, when called upon to play significant snaps, Carter may be a useful possession receiver.
Targeted twice in opener
Published: 2024-09-08
Carter hauled in one of two targets for six yards in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
In addition to returning five punts for 64 yards and one kickoff for 67 yards, Carter also saw time in the wide receiver rotation. With two targets, Carter had the most targets of any Chicago receiver aside from DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. If Carter continues to earn the trust of the coaching staff, it's possible that he moves into a more prominent role in the offense if other pass catchers miss time.
Signs with Chicago
Published: 2024-06-18
The Bears signed Carter to a one-year contract Tuesday.
Carter suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Raiders in 2023 and racked up 494 return yards in that span. He also contributed four catches for 39 yards and three carries for 17 yards. The 31-year-old veteran now stands to compete for a similar role in the return game with Chicago.
Totals 494 return yards in 2023
Published: 2024-02-18
Carter caught four passes for 39 yards on seven targets and rushed three times for 18 yards in 17 games during the 2023 season. He also returned 24 punts for 232 yards and 11 kicks for 262 yards.
Carter, who'll turn 31 years old in April, served primarily as a return man in his first season with the Raiders, logging just 102 total offensive snaps across 17 contests. The journeyman wide receiver is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2024, so it's uncertain that he'll be back as a specialist in Las Vegas.
