Top Cethan Carter News

  • Cethan Carter: Set to be released

    The Dolphins released Carter on Tuesday.

    Carter did not record a single reception last season, as he appeared in just one game due to a concussion. The 2017 undrafted free agent will now look for an opportunity elsewhere, and while he shouldn't be expected to contribute on offense, he will bring special teams value wherever he ends up.

    Carter has missed three straight games due to a concussion and remains in protocols ahead of Week 5. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, but given his prolonged absence, the Dolphins will likely be cautious before thrusting him back into game action.

    Carter will miss a third straight contest as he works his way through the concussion protocol. Hunter Long (ankle) also appears in danger of missing Week 3, so Tanner Conner could get another chance to handle the No. 3 gig behind Mike Gesicki and Adam Shaheen.

  • Dolphins' Cethan Carter: Listed as non-participant

    Carter (concussion) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Carter has missed the last two games due to his concussion, and his status on Monday's practice estimation isn't encouraging. If he hopes to play Thursday against Cincinnati, he'll likely need to return to the practice field in some capacity over the next few days.

  • Dolphins' Cethan Carter: Enters concussion protocol

    Miami coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Carter is in concussion protocol, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The fifth-year tight end, who played 265 of his 312 total snaps on special teams in 2021, will now look to pass through the NFL's concussion protocols heading into the team's Week 2 matchup against the Ravens on Sept. 18.
