Jets likely to employ RB trio with Michael Carter doubtful

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets running back Michael Carter, the team's leading rusher over the last four games, is listed as doubtful for Sunday with a low-ankle sprain.

The Jets (7-4), who face the Minnesota Vikings (9-2) at U.S. Bank Stadium, are prepared to use a backfield-by-committee - Ty Johnson, rookie Zonovan Knight and James Robinson.

Carter, who took over the starting job when star rookie Breece Hall suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 7, was injured in last week's 31-10 win over the Chicago Bears and didn't practice this week.
