Jamal Carter

We did not see Jamal Carter during the 2018 season as he was placed on injured reserve after the first game of the preseason. He suffered a torn hamstring in the preseason opener.

It is a real shame because he had such a solid 2017 campaign. He was actually one of the players that I was looking forward to seeing this past season. But hopefully we will get to see him as he is entering the final year of his contract.

I would absolutely love to see how Vic Fangio utilizes him in the Denver Broncos game plan. He is a sure tackler and can make the big play on special teams. Hopefully Fangio is able to play to his strengths when called upon.
