Abdul Carter, a potential No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft, could be looking at surgery to deal with a stress reaction discovered in his right foot. Tests Wednesday revealed the issue, and Carter’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that he will decide soon if he will undergo surgery.

Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter, the potential top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft who is dealing with an injury inside his right foot, was advised not to undergo surgery, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus said Thursday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Wednesday tests showed Carter "has a stress reaction in his right foot" and will soon decide whether to have surgery, which would involve inserting a screw into his foot and would sideline him for eight weeks. Carter's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN a decision is expected to be made this week.

After it was revealed Wednesday that the Penn State pass rusher has a stress reaction in his right foot that might need surgery, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday morning that doctors told the 21-year-old that surgery is “not advisable” after additional scans, and he’s set to work out during the Nittany Lions’ pro day on March 28.
