Carey was injured by a tackle from Markus Olsson and left Ewood Park in a protective boot but X-rays have revealed the injury is not as serious as was first feared.
However, the veteran defender, who is currently in his 8th season at Ashton Gate, still remains a serious doubt for this weekend's Championship clash with Nottingham Forest.
Cole Skuse's knee injury also makes him a doubt along with Neil Kilkenny who is still sidelined with a foot injury picked up in the 2-1 win over Ipswich Town.
