The Jacksonville Jaguars released OG Will Rackley, RB Delone Carter, RB Shaun Chapas, WR Jeremy Ebert, DT Drake Nevis and WR Stephen Williams Monday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: With the new draft class (and undrafted free agents) added, several teams will be trimming their roster today. We might see some of these guys resurface somewhere else. A guy like Jeremy Ebert could wind up back in New England to get another chance. |

Jaguars | Maurice Jones-Drew will test hamstring before game Sat Dec 14, 12:41 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (hamstring) said he will test his injured hamstring before the team's Week 15 game. He said he ran better Friday, Dec. 13, than he did earlier in the week but thinks his availability if 50-50 at this point.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners need to have other options available if Jones-Drew can't play. If he is out, RB Jordan Todman will start and will be backed up by RBs Denard Robinson and Delone Carter. |

Jaguars | Sign Delone Carter Mon Dec 9, 12:23 PM
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed RB Delone Carter (Ravens) Monday, Dec. 9. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: With Justin Forsett on Injured Reserve the team needed to add depth at the running back position. Carter is a classic banger between the tackles who offers little burst or speed. He only has fantasy value in incredibly deep dynasty leagues...and even that value is relatively low. |

Giants | Delone Carter, Beanie Wells not on visit list Mon Oct 14, 09:06 PM
The New York Giants are expected to work out a handful of free-agent running backs, including RB Peyton Hillis (Buccaneers), but free-agent RBs Delone Carter (Colts) and Beanie Wells (Cardinals) are not among those expected to visit, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Giants have only one healthy back on the roster (Michael Cox). They're looking for veteran depth behind starter Brandon Jacobs, who is dealing with a minor hamstring injury. |

Ravens | Several cut Fri Aug 30, 03:01 PM
The Baltimore Ravens cut RB Delone Carter, OT Rogers Gaines, TE Alex Silvestro and OG Reggie Stephens Friday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Carter never cut after being a fourth-round pick of the Colts two years ago. He may end up on a roster again later in the season as injuries thin the personnel in NFL backfields, but he is never going to be a truly relevant player in fantasy leagues. |

Colts | One roster spot between Donald Brown and Delone Carter Wed Jul 3, 12:28 PM
Indianapolis Colts RBs Donald Brown and Delone Carter are probably fighting for one roster spot. Kerwynn Williams will have to prove he can help on special teams to boot one of them.
| Footballguys view: Carter is probably the best short yardage running back on the roster, but fullback Stanley Havili could be used in that role if Carter is let go. Brown is the most explosive of the veteran running backs, but also the least versatile. Williams straight-line speed and receiving ability should at least earn him a practice squad spot, but the Colts could be better off keeping Williams and moving on from both veteran disappointments. |

Colts | Two RBs spots could be in jeopardy Fri Jun 7, 02:06 PM
The Indianapolis Colts likely would release RB Delone Carter or RB Donald Brown during the preseason if they are able to sign free-agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Giants) at some point.
| Footballguys view: Carter may be the odd man out. He's got good lower body strength and can grind between the tackles. Carter is not a great fit in the new Pep Hamilton West Coast offense. |

Colts | Working on deal with Ahmad Bradshaw Thu Jun 6, 04:09 PM
The Indianapolis Colts are talking with free-agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Giants) about a contract.
| Footballguys view: A good fit for the Colts if they can come to an agreement. Bradshaw could end up winning the starting job over Vick Ballard or Donald Brown. He's a versatile runner who can work well as a receiver out of the backfield. |

Colts | Delone Carter recovering from surgery Thu May 23, 04:05 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Delone Carter (shoulder) has not been participating in organized team activities because of recent shoulder surgery.
| Footballguys view: Carter's spot on the roster isn't guaranteed this year. He needs to get healthy and prove his value as a reserve running back behind Vick Ballard and Donald Brown. Carter will have to beat out guys like rookie Kerwynn Williams (Utah State) and veteran Deji Karim for the third spot on the depth chart. |

Colts | Vick Ballard to see plentiful workload Thu Dec 13, 02:42 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Vick Ballard will continue to see the majority of the workload in Week 15 with RB Donald Brown (knee) now out for the season and RB Delone Carter (ankle) out for two to three weeks. 'About the same,' interim head coach Bruce Arians concurred, 'and as long as he can stay in there he'll stay in there and when he needs to tap out, Mewelde will go in.' Ballard's 562 rushing yards this year ranks fifth among rookie running backs, and he's started the team's last nine games because he's the best package of runner, receiver and pass protector.

Colts | Delone Carter well down the depth chart Mon Sep 3, 08:01 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Delone Carter was a bit of a surprise inclusion on the 53-man roster, but he is listed as the team's No. 4 running back on the depth chart.
| Footballguys view: Carter certainly has not impressed the new coaching staff. His dynasty value is low right now as Carter lacks the burst to be an effective runner at the pro level. |

Colts | Want a physical running game Sat Jul 28, 04:41 PM
Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said the team wants to be able to run the football this year when they want to run it. He is looking for the running game to be a physical one. 'There aren't any numbers; you know, we aren't running 35 times, this and that, every game dictates different numbers. But when we want to run it, we want to be able to run it, and be able to be physical. Old school football, double team, kick out and hit it up in there,' Arians said. He noted he feels the team's players have adapted to his philosophy quickly and he is excited to see them with pads on behind the offensive line, which he really likes.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Donald Brown here. He could be a real value for your fantasy team if he stays healthy and plays up to his potential. Brown is coming off the board at RB30 but could finish the season as a top 20 fantasy RB. |

Colts | Three cleared to practice Wed Jul 25, 05:47 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Delone Carter (thumb), OG Ben Ijalana (knee) and OT Anthony Castonzo (ankle) have been cleared to practice once training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Carter here. He's lost valuable ground behind starter Donald Brown after missing the offseason workouts because of this thumb injury. We think Brown holds him off for the starting job and could be in for a big role in 2012. Browns ADP is RB30 and he's coming off the board in the early 7th round in most 12-team leagues. If he stays healthy and plays up to his potential he could easily outperform that spot. |

Colts | Ball security will be important for Delone Carter Fri Jul 6, 05:13 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Delone Carter (thumb) will have to show that the ball security issues he had as a rookie are fixed during training camp before he gets meaningful playing time. His offseason thumb injury could affect his ball security.
| Footballguys view: Carter is a talented between the tackles runner who can grind down a defense. We like his ability to run through arm tackles, and burst in the open field. His ball security issues must be fixed before the team increases his role. Carter is likely to be the RB2 behind Donald Brown on the depth chart. |

Colts | Delone Carter expects to be ready for camp Tue Jun 26, 12:31 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Delone Carter (thumb) said Monday, June 25, that he expects to be ready for training camp. He tore a ligament in his thumb on the right hand during organized team activities (OTAs) in April, and he had surgery. 'I don't feel like it's a big setback because we don't have pads on yet,' Carter said. 'The only thing I feel is setting me back is not really getting out there and running routes with the defense, having to do it on my own. It's different with a defender over you.'
| Footballguys view: If healthy Carter will compete with Donald Brown to be the team's starting RB in 2012. Brown has a big edge over Carter right now and is considered the favorite to win the job. New head coach Chuck Pagano believes Brown can be a full time RB in this league. If Brown wins the job Carter can still be used effectively as a short-yardage and goalline runner for the Colts. |
