Top Ajani Carter News

  • Texans' Ajani Carter: Remaining on IR

    Carter (hamstring) will remain on Houston's injured reserve for the rest of the campaign, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Carter's season is officially over after his 21-day window to be activated off injured reserve expired. The 25-year-old had been sidelined since the Week 12 win over Buffalo due to a hamstring injury and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 campaign.

    Carter has appeared in only two games this season, most recently due to the hamstring injury. He logged full practices throughout the week, so he appears to have a realistic chance to return. However, Carter will need to be activated from injured reserve Sunday to have the chance to suit up.
