Carter (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Giants' Abdul Carter: Looks set to play Sunday
Carter (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Carter sat out the Giants' first two Week 6 practices but "looked explosive" while he was on the field as a limited participant for Friday's session, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The Giants apparently agree with Raanan's assessment, though Carter won't be officially cleared to play until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Through New York's first five games, Carter has accrued 2.0 sacks among his 14 tackles while also forcing a fumble.

Giants' Abdul Carter: Questionable for Sunday
Carter (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Carter upgraded to limited participation in Friday's practice after missing the earlier sessions of Week 6 prep. If the young pass rusher does not suit up for Sunday's game, the Giants will likely elevate two versatile linebackers from the practice squad who can rush the passer.

Giants' Abdul Carter: Doesn't practice due to calf injury
Carter (calf) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Carter likely injured his calf during the Giants' Week 5 tie with the Commanders, when he logged five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters before Wednesday's session that Carter was "doing well," per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, but the second-year pro's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Giants' Abdul Carter: Back at practice
Carter (hand) was a full participant during the Giants' training camp practice Tuesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Carter missed Monday's session due to an issue with his hand, but it doesn't look like it was anything too serious. He also tended to a minor ankle issue the week prior. Barring any further setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 1 of the regular season versus the Cowboys.

Giants' Abdul Carter: Suffers hand injury
Carter (hand) did not participate in Monday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Coach John Harbaugh does not seem overly concerned about the star strong-side linebacker's injury, meaning Carter will likely be back to practice shortly. Carter has already sustained two injuries throughout the 2026 offseason, having just recovered from an ankle issue Thursday. The team will likely be cautious with Carter's recovery, but at present, his Week 1 availability doesn't appear to be in any jeopardy.
