Abdul Carter Held Out of Practice With Calf Injury

New York Giants pass-rusher Abdul Carter was held out of practice for a second straight day Thursday due to a calf issue. If Carter cannot play Sunday against the Saints, it would be a massive blow to a defense already missing Brian Burns. Carter has 2.0 sacks and leads the league with 11 quick quarterback pressures under 2.5 seconds, making his potential absence critical for the unit.
