Carter was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Carter missed the Jets' Week 16 contest with the Jaguars, but he'll now be able to return to his nickelback role Sunday against the Buccaneers. The rookie fifth-round draft pick has 61 tackles (36 solo), four passes defensed and two fumble recoveries in 13 games.
