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

Giants' Paulson Adebo: Struggles in return
Rotowire
Adebo tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) during the Giants' loss versus the Patriots on Monday.
Adebo had been sidelined for the past five games with a sprained MCL and struggled in his return, as Drake Maye completed nine of his 11 pass attempts for 95 yards and a touchdown when targeting him. However, Adebo did manage to rack up double-digit tackles for the second time this season. The 26-year-old will look to have a bounce-back performance Week 15 versus Washington following the team's upcoming bye.

Giants' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Unavailable for MNF
Rotowire
Flannigan-Fowles (neck) is inactive for Monday night's contest against New England, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Flannigan-Fowles was unable to participate at either of the team's first two sessions of the week before returning as a limited participant at Saturday's final practice prior to Monday Night Football. The linebacker is dealing with neck and knee injuries, and he will now be forced to miss at least one contest as a result. In his absence, Neville Hewitt and Zaire Barnes are top candidates to see an increase in workload at linebacker versus the Patriots.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Cleared to play Week 13
Rotowire
Nubin (neck) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against New England.
Nubin missed each of New York's past two contests while dealing with a neck issue. He was able to log an LP/FP/FP practice progression this week to set up his return to game action on Monday Night Football. Dane Belton, who has been starting in Nubin's stead, will likely return to a reserve role against the Patriots.

Rotowire
Adebo (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Stanford product missed the Giants' last five games due to a sprained MCL, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he'll return Monday night.

Giants' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Questionable for Week 13
Rotowire
Flannigan-Fowles (neck) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Despite his questionable designation, Flannigan-Fowles is likely trending toward not playing Monday after beginning the Giants' week of practice with consecutive DNPs. The 29-year-old has appeared in seven games this season, recording 24 total tackles and one pass defensed. If he's inactive for the Week 13 contest, Neville Hewitt and Zaire Barnes could have expanded roles in the Giants' linebacker corps.

Rotowire
Banks (hip) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Madelyn Burke of MSG Network reports.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: DNP again Thursday
Rotowire
Lawrence (elbow) did not participate in Thursday's estimated practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence has now missed consecutive practices nursing an elbow injury and will likely need to participate in at least one of the Giants' remaining pair of practices during Week 13 prep for a chance to suit up for Monday night's game against the Patriots. The starting nose tackle is an integral part of the Giants' defense, and D.J. Davidson would therefore see a significantly expanded role if Lawrence ultimately sits out.

Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Absent Thursday
Rotowire
Thibodeaux (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's estimated practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Thibodeaux has already missed consecutive games due to a shoulder injury, and Thursday's estimated practice does not boost confidence in the defensive end's chances to suit up for Monday's game against the Patriots. For Thibodeaux to have a chance to play, he would likely need to participate in at least one of the Giants' two remaining practices before the interconference clash.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Projected as limited Thursday
Rotowire
Nubin (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's estimated practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nubin was unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Lions with a neck injury despite practicing in a limited capacity all week. The fact Nubin is continuing his trend of limited participation is encouraging, but he will likely need to log a full practice to better his chances of suiting up for Monday night's showdown with the Patriots.

Giants' Paulson Adebo: Estimated as limited Thursday
Rotowire
Adebo (knee) was a limited participant in the Giants' estimated practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Adebo missed his fifth consecutive game last Sunday due to a sprained MCL, so the limited participation in practice is a good sign for the potential return of the starting cornerback. Adebo will need to continue to string practices together to have a chance to suit up in Monday night's game against the Patriots.
