Cardinals Coach Confirms Michael Carter as Week 16 Starting Running Back

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Friday that Michael Carter will start Sunday's game against the Falcons. Carter is expected to take on the starting role for the remainder of the season after handling 18 touches and churning out a season-high 94 scrimmage yards in Week 15 following Bam Knight's ankle injury. Emari Demercado and Corey Kiner are on hand for depth, with Demercado expected to play a role off the bench.
