New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter's absence from the first quarter against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football sparked rumors of a disciplinary issue. According to sources, Carter was suspended for the first drive after being caught watching explicit content during a team meeting, which was accidentally broadcast due to disconnected headphones. The Giants' management has not publicly confirmed the reason for Carter's benching, attributing it to the coach's decision. However, it was revealed that the rookie linebacker was not injured and was present in the stadium, waiting on the bench. In a surprising turn of events, Carter was brought back into the game late in the first quarter, and his return was rewarded with the first full sack of his rookie NFL career. The 2025 NFL draft pick, who has played 12 games for the Giants this season, has recorded 27 tackles and 0.5 sacks per game. Carter, a Penn State Nittany Lions graduate, was selected as the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. His impressive performance has been a highlight of the Giants' season so far, and his rookie sack is a testament to his growth as a player.
