Abdul Carter's NFL Draft Prospects Clouded by Foot Injury

Abdul Carter, a top prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right foot during evaluations at the NFL Scouting Combine. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, noted that opinions on whether surgery is necessary are mixed, with a decision expected soon. If Carter opts for surgery, he would face an eight-week recovery period, potentially impacting his participation in Penn State's Pro Day. Despite the injury, Rosenhaus remains optimistic about Carter's draft prospects, asserting that it should not significantly affect his position in the draft. The Tennessee Titans, holding the No. 1 pick, may reconsider their options depending on Carter's medical situation, as other candidates like Miami quarterback Cam Ward are also in contention. Carter expressed confidence in his abilities, stating he believes he is the best player in the country and should be the top pick.
