Surgery decision made for potential Giants NFL draft pick Abdul Carter after injury reveal
NY Post
For now, at least, Abdul Carter will avoid surgery and will be able to showcase the skills he believes warrant him going No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft in April.
After it was revealed Wednesday that the Penn State pass rusher has a stress reaction in his right foot that might need surgery, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday morning that doctors told the 21-year-old that surgery is “not advisable” after additional scans, and he’s set to work out during the Nittany Lions’ pro day on March 28.
“I couldn’t be more confident that this will be a non-factor where he’s drafted,” Carter’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN. “He will put on a show at his pro day.”
Rosenhaus previously told ESPN that Carter could’ve had preemptive surgery — a screw being placed in his right foot — and be cleared for working out and running eight weeks afterward.
“Either way, worst-case scenario, we don’t expect this to impact where he is drafted,” Rosenhaus told ESPN before doctors made their final call. “After visiting with teams this week, I believe he’s going to be the No. 1 overall pick.”
The Titans currently hold the No. 1 pick, followed by the Browns and Giants.

In the NBA, and really in any league, it’s always about the chase for the stars. It’s about the path to get there — via drafting and developing, via free agency, via a blockbuster trade — and envisioning what those moves could become. The Knicks went through the chase for years before landing Jalen Brunson (free agency), OG Anunoby (trade), Mikal Bridges (trade) and Karl-Anthony Towns (trade) in a span of around 27 months between July 2022 and Oct. 2024. Brooklyn remains scarred by its failed Big 3. The Suns went for the splashes of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal to form a Big 3 alongside Devin Booker, too.
