Overview
- Abdul Carter did not practice Wednesday with a calf issue and the Giants have not confirmed whether he will play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
- Head coach John Harbaugh said Carter is “doing very well” and that the player will appear on the team’s official injury report with a status update to follow.
- Carter has been the team's top pass rusher this season, logging strong stats and an 84.6 Pro Football Focus grade through five games that place him among the league’s best edge rushers.
- Coaches and reporters have flagged durability concerns because Carter has played roughly 92.2 percent of defensive snaps through five games and started his career with a 22-game consecutive-play streak.
- The Giants listed several other players as non-participants or limited on Wednesday, and the official injury report later in the day will show whether Sunday’s lineup could be further affected.
