Overview
- Kafka called the decision a coach's choice and kept specifics in-house after the 27-20 loss to the Packers.
- Carter did not play the first six defensive snaps, then logged the remainder of the defensive snaps and his first snap on special teams.
- The No. 3 pick finished with one tackle and one quarterback hit and remains at 0.5 sacks for the season.
- Veteran edge rusher Brian Burns said the matter was handled professionally between Carter and Kafka.
- With Kayvon Thibodeaux sidelined, Tomon Fox opened the game on defense before Carter rotated in as the Giants evaluated personnel under Kafka's aggressive approach.
