Sam Howell almost got another one of his college weapons on the team today. The Washington Commanders reportedly placed a waiver claim on RB Michael Carter. The New York Jets released him on Monday, but he was awarded to the Arizona Cardinals due to their higher waiver priority. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also put a claim in for the former North Carolina Tar Heels running back. Washington has higher priority than Tampa Bay, and would have a new player if the Cardinals didn’t place a claim.
Michael Carter was Sam Howell's running back at North Carolina for two season, before leaving college for the NFL along with current Commanders WR Dyami Brown.
