Carter caught all three targets for a team-high 40 yards in Houston's preseason Week 2 win over Detroit.
Carter started the game with Keke Coutee (ankle) unavailable and caught a pair of passes from quarterback Deshaun Watson on the game's opening drive. Carter also served as the starting returner on both punts and kickoffs. He came off the PUP list last weekend and was given a vote of confidence by coach Bill O'Brien as a potential fill-in starter should Coutee not be available when the regular season starts.
