The Colts coaching staff elected to bring in veteran Mewelde Moore as a third-down back courtesy of his excellent ability to catch passes out of the backfield and pass-block.
Carter cannot do either efficiently, and the lack of trust and versatility likely mean will be his last year in Colts' blue. As hinted at, Carter is getting lost in the depth chart at the bottom. He barely scraped by and made the roster this offseason as he battled Donald Brown, rookie Vick Ballard and Moore. It should speak volumes about how the team feels about Carter that Ballard, a rookie, has been named the starting running back in Brown's absence instead of Carter.
Ballard will carry the load for the Colts while Brown is out, and Moore will be used as the third-down back, which means Carter will receive few opportunities, if any, to prove to the staff he can make a worthwhile contribution and that he has improved from his miserable offseason. For Carter, his time may be running out in Indianapolis unless he has a breakout game in the next few weeks. Carter is 25 years old, but so is Brown, who clearly has a lock on the starting gig in Indianapolis when healthy.
