Overview
- Reporters say Carter left the first day of the Giants’ mandatory minicamp favoring his left leg after trainers examined him on the field.
- Observers noted his left shoe and sock were off during the exam and he walked very gingerly when departing the practice area.
- The practice was open to media, but the injury moment occurred out of view of reporters so details remain unconfirmed.
- Coverage so far includes an initial report that the team’s early belief is that Carter is OK, but the Giants have not issued an official medical update.
- If the issue is mild there are about seven weeks before training camp for recovery, though commentators say retaining edge players like Kayvon Thibodeaux matters for depth.
