Carter didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter has really started to produce over the Giants' last four games, recording 16 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles during that span. The Penn State product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

Carter recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Giants loss versus Minnesota on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Carter produced one of the team's four sacks during the loss. The rookie first-round pick got off to a slow start this season but has been on a hot streak as of late, logging one sack in each of his last three outings after failing to tally one across the first 12 weeks of the campaign.

Carter logged seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and fumble recovery Sunday during the Giants' loss versus the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Carter compiled a career-high seven tackles in the loss while recording one of the team's two sacks of Marcus Mariota. The rookie first-round pick got off to a slow start this season but has been more productive across his last two outings, totaling 11 tackles (seven solo), including two sacks.

Carter totaled four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Giants' loss to the Patriots on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Carter was benched for the first quarter after missing a team responsibility during the week, but he ended up having a productive outing once on the field. The rookie first-round pick recorded the first full sack of his career, and he'll look to build on this strong performance following the team's upcoming bye week.

Carter did not play in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Patriots, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants have termed the benching a coach's decision, with an additional report from Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reporting that the move was made after Carter missed a team responsibility during the week. Carter has been spotted on the sideline wearing a coat over his jersey, but he is expected to take the field at some point.

Head coach Mike Kafka told reporters after Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Packers that it was his decision to hold Carter off the field for the Giants' first defensive series of the game. "It was my decision, we'll keep the rest of that in house."

EDGE Analysis

Carter relayed to reporters he "made a mistake" in the week leading up to Sunday's contest but didn't provide further details, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Carter had just one solo tackle during the loss, but it's unclear whether he'll see his defensive snap count decreased moving forward. The Giants hit the road for Week 12 to take on the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Carter (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter was a late addition to the Giants' injury report Friday due to a hamstring injury. He has gone through pregame warmups without suffering a setback, and the No. 3 overall pick has been cleared to play in Denver. Carter has logged 13 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks, through the first six regular-season games of his NFL career.

Carter (hamstring) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. He traveled with the team to Denver on Saturday, and how his hamstring responds to pregame warmups will determine whether he will play Sunday. Chauncey Golston (neck) has already been ruled out, so the Giants may have to turn to Victor Dimukeje (neck) -- who was activated from injured reserve Saturday -- to take on a more prominent, rotational role as an edge rusher behind Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux if Carter is unable to play.

Carter (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 21-year-old was a late addition to the Giants' injury report, popping up as a limited practice participant Friday due to a hamstring issue. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported that Carter spoke to reporters following Friday's practice and suggested he's planning to play Week 7, but this injury is something to monitor moving forward. The third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft has tallied 13 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, over his first six NFL games. If he's active Sunday, Carter is likely to operate as one of the Giants' top edge rushers.

Carter has been used in various roles during OTAs as the Giants try to balance his playing time with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burns and Thibodeaux are the nominal starters at outside linebacker, but the Giants deployed numerous packages featuring all three pass rushers, including some sets in which Carter shifted inside. The third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft also got some reps with the second-team defense, including one on which Carter sacked Jameis Winston.
