Overview
- Abdul Carter exited the New York Giants’ mandatory minicamp practice limping with his left shoe and sock off after an apparent ankle/foot injury on Monday, when trainers took him inside for evaluation.
- Head coach John Harbaugh said the injury looked like a twisted ankle and “doesn’t look serious,” and the team immediately took a cautious approach by limiting his activity the next day.
- By Wednesday he was back on the field in a limited walk-through, reporters including The Athletic’s Dan Duggan confirmed, signaling a quick return to participation while the club watches him closely.
- The Giants plan further testing and medical monitoring over the pause before training camp to confirm his official status and protect his long-term availability.
- Carter, the No. 3 overall pick in 2025 who had 43 tackles and four sacks as a rookie, remains a key piece of the pass rush and his health will factor into snap decisions as the team evaluates depth ahead of late July training camp.
