Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, a projected top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right foot at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine and faces a decision on a potential surgery. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Carter is expected to potentially go as high as No. 1 in the NFL Draft, and while the surgery could complicate his projection given he was sitting out of NFL Combine drills due to a separate shoulder injury, his agent Drew Rosenhaus said he does not expect the diagnosis to affect his draft positioning. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, a timeline with surgery would mean an eight-week recovery, though he could forego the procedure and be ready in time for the Penn State Pro Day. This is a situation to monitor for IDP leagues.
