FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Rookie running back Michael Carter, one of the bright spots in a mostly dismal season for the New York Jets, will miss at least two weeks with a mild high-ankle sprain.
Coach Robert Saleh said Carter could be sidelined anywhere from two to four weeks, although he didn't rule out the possibility of a longer timetable. Carter, their leading rusher, was injured Sunday in a 24-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
The Jets (2-8) are hoping for the return of rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, who has missed the last four games with a sprained right knee.
