Overview

  • Jordan Schultz reported the torn Achilles on X, and multiple outlets corroborated the season-ending news.
  • Carter, a 2024 third-round pick, had made the 53-man roster and was slated for a rotational role behind Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones.
  • Rookies T. J. Sanders and Deone Walker are expected to absorb larger snaps on the interior defensive line.
  • Practice-squad tackles Zion Logue and Jordan Phillips are candidates for promotion to the active roster as Buffalo evaluates options.
  • As a rookie in 2024, Carter logged 11 games and three starts with 14 tackles, five tackles for loss and three quarterback hits after a wrist surgery interrupted his season.
