Is Michael Carter playing tonight?
Yes, Michael Carter is active and playing tonight.
He was on the practice squad during the week after being cut, but he was elevated for gameday.
The Cardinals actually started the game by giving four of the first six RB carries to Emari Demercado.
Bam Knight had gotten the other two early totes.
Carter is active and out there, but he hasn't gotten a touch through the first two Cardinals' scoring drives.
He may be out of favor now, given his recent roster movement. But the Cardinals have all hands on deck in the backfield with no James Conner and no Trey Benson.
