2025 Projections
Medical re-check goes well
Carter (foot/shoulder) underwent a medical re-check in Indianapolis on Thursday, confirming that the stress reaction in his right foot is healing and will not require surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Carter appears to be progressing on track in his recovery from both the shoulder injury that kept him from handling on-field drills at the the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, and the stress reaction discovered at the combine which prevented him from working out at Penn State's pro day. His agent Drew Rosenhaus said Thursday that Carter's injuries "should be a non-factor with the teams at this point," and he previously stated that Carted may host private workouts for NFL organizations prior to the draft later this month. The reigning Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year remains widely projected to come off the board within the first picks of the 2025 NFL Draft, assuming teams indeed have no serious concerns about his health.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mocked to Giants by Davis
Charles Davis of NFL.com projects the Giants to select Carter with the third overall pick in his latest mock draft.
ANALYSIS
The Giants haven't been a common projected landing spot for the outstanding Penn State defensive lineman, but Davis' mock has the Titans and Browns taking UM's Cam Ward and Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, respectively, off the board with the first two picks. The quarterback-needy Giants have at least addressed the position via the veteran route this offseason through the signings of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and Davis reasons they won't pass up the best player available at No. 3 overall.
