  • Giants' Abdul Carter: Good to go for TNF

    Carter (knee/back) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday night's game against the Commanders.

    Carter logged limited tags Monday and Tuesday before upgrading to full practice Wednesday. Across eight starts this season, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2025 Draft has produced 19 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble. He's yet to develop into a game-wrecking edge rusher.

  • Giants' Abdul Carter: Back at practice Thursday

    Carter (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Carter was absent Wednesday, but his return to the practice field puts the edge rusher on track for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Carter has started all seven games this season, recording 18 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble on 88 percent of the defensive snaps.

  • Giants' Abdul Carter: Ready for Sunday

    Carter (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Carter was absent for the first two practices of Week 6 prep before upgrading to a limited participant in Friday's session. The strongside linebacker looked great in practice and has recovered in time to suit up for Sunday's game against the Saints.

  • Giants' Abdul Carter: Looks set to play Sunday

    Carter (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Carter sat out the Giants' first two Week 6 practices but "looked explosive" while he was on the field as a limited participant for Friday's session, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The Giants apparently agree with Raanan's assessment, though Carter won't be officially cleared to play until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Through New York's first five games, Carter has accrued 2.0 sacks among his 14 tackles while also forcing a fumble.

  • Giants' Abdul Carter: Questionable for Sunday

    Carter (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Carter upgraded to limited participation in Friday's practice after missing the earlier sessions of Week 6 prep. If the young pass rusher does not suit up for Sunday's game, the Giants will likely elevate two versatile linebackers from the practice squad who can rush the passer.

  • Giants' Abdul Carter: Misses another practice

    Carter (calf) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Carter didn't practice for the second consecutive day. The 23-year-old will need to at least practice in a limited capacity Friday if he hopes to avoid an injury designation for the Week 6 meeting with the Saints.

  • Giants' Abdul Carter: Doesn't practice due to calf injury

    Carter (calf) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Carter likely injured his calf during the Giants' Week 5 tie with the Commanders, when he logged five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters before Wednesday's session that Carter was "doing well," per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, but the second-year pro's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's contest against the Saints.
