Carter (coach's decision) is inactive against the Giants on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Carter was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but he will observe Sunday's game in street clothes after Tyjae Spears (ankle) was cleared to play. Spears, rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton and Julius Chestnut will all provide depth in the Titans' backfield behind Tony Pollard for Week 3.
