Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Carter was placed on injured reserve and will undergo wrist surgery, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
The rookie third-round pick was limited in practice all week due to a wrist injury he likely picked up during the Bills' Week 7 win over the Titans, during which he registered three solo tackles across 30 defensive snaps. A stint on injured reserve means Carter will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season contests, making Week 13 against the 49ers on Sunday, Dec. 1 the earliest he could return. While Carter is sidelined, Austin Johnson and Zion Logue will serve as the Bills' backup defensive tackles behind DaQuan Jones and Ed Oliver.
