Taking part in 11-on-11s
Carter (foot) participated during OTAs on Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
While there is still no live contact, it's an encouraging sign for Carter that he's on the field with his new team for offseason workouts. It doesn't appear that the stress fracture in his foot that kept him from doing athletic testing during the pre-draft process should impact his availability come the start of the 2025 season. Carter figures to form part of a fearsome three-headed monster on the edge along with two-time Pro Bowler Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Jersey number decision made
Carter, who was previously rebuffed by Giants legends Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor regarding his requests to wear their retired numbers, decided on No. 51 on Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie third overall pick out of Penn State had asked Taylor about wearing his No. 56 and had also contemplated Simms' No. 11, the number Carter had worn in college, after Taylor rejected his request. However, Simms' family discouraged the retired signal-caller from saying yes as well, so Carter landed on No. 51 after deciding he'd take one digit from each of the two retired numbers.
