Abdul Carter, a prominent NFL draft prospect from Penn State, is facing a crucial decision regarding a stress reaction in his right foot. With mixed opinions from medical professionals, Carter's choices include undergoing pre-emptive surgery—resulting in an approximate eight-week recovery—or skipping surgery to demonstrate his capabilities during pro days. His agents and family were consulting with doctors, aiming to gather more information for an impending decision. Despite the injury, it is believed that his draft stock will remain unaffected, with optimism about being the No. 1 overall pick.
There are mixed opinions on whether he needs surgery, and we will figure that out in the near future.
Option 1 for Carter would be to have the pre-emptive surgery, have a screw inserted in his right foot, and be expected back in eight weeks.
After visiting with teams this week, I believe he's going to be the No. 1 overall pick.
Either way, worst-case scenario, we don't expect this to impact where he is drafted.
