Michael Carter (ankle) won't practice today, but Saleh still hopeful for Sunday.

Carter is dealing with an ankle sprain and despite not going in practice today, the team thinks he still has a shot to play against the Vikings in an early Sunday game. If Carter can't go, Knight likely sees a decent workload and is a popular name on the waiver wire right now. Knight would seem to still have a role even if Carter plays.

Jets running back Michael Carter left Sunday’s win over the Bears with an ankle injury, but the team isn’t ruling him out of their Week 13 trip to Minnesota at this point.

Head coach Robert Saleh said at his Monday press conference that Carter suffered a low ankle sprain. He added that the team sees him as day-to-day with a chance to play against the Vikings.

Carter has been the lead back for the Jets since Breece Hall tore his ACL, but the team’s other options had a good showing against the Bears. Rookie Knight ran for 69 yards and caught three passes for 34 yards while Johnson ran for a 32-yard touchdown. Robinson was inactive for that game, but could find his way back into the mix if Carter isn’t able to go this weekend, the story said. This could end up being a muddy situation fantasy-wise, especially if Carter plays but isn't 100 %. Hopefully we can learn more leading up to the game.

Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight split the load in a blowout win over the Bears, but they may have a third back in the rotation if Carter were to miss the entire game. It's too early in the week to make a broad call on the backfield but either back could make an interesting flier if we hear bad news about Carter's ankle later this week.

Quarterback Josh Allen will be listed as limited.

As we reported Tuesday, Allen didn't make the injury worse playing in Week 10 and it's safe to assume he'll be back on the field for Week 11. HC Sean McDermott said the team will continue the regimen from last week and will evaluate him each day and determine his practice load.

The Chicago Bears are placing running back Khalil Herbert on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Herbert suffered a hip injury in Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions. With Herbert landing on IR, he’ll have to miss the next four games. He’s eligible to return in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, the story said - which is smack in the middle of the fantasy playoffs. Look for Montgomery to get an increased workload with Ebner and Evans battling for carries behind Monty. Of course Fields has been leading the way on the ground over the past several weeks.

Head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday that there was no further issue with Josh Allen's elbow.

McDermott said Allen’s elbow is in a “good spot” coming out of the game and that the team will determine his practice schedule for the week. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey added that the game plan on Sunday was not limited by Allen’s injury, the story said. It also added there weren't many throws that were off the table in terms of play calling. Allen should be good for Week 11's game. The Bills host the Browns.

The Bills chose not to elevate QB Matt Barkley from the practice squad, a sign that Josh Allen could start Sunday against the Vikings.

Allen did not practice this week with an elbow sprain but did some throwing on Friday and is able to grip the football. The Bills seem to feel comfortable enough with how Allen looks and them not elevating Barkley shows the Bills look like they’ll roll with Allen, considering the only other quarterback on their active roster is Case Keenum.

Josh Allen was not on the field during the brief portion of practice open to the media.

Case Keenum is almost assuredly starting in Week 10, with Allen still being held out of Friday's practice. Keenum would have a great arsenal of weapons to work with, but without Allen's incredible rushing floor, he won't be a locked-in QB1 option.
