The Potential General Selection No. 1 in the NFL Draft and the Penn State Abdul Carter star has a stress reaction on its right foot, according to multiple reports.
The stress fracture was revealed during the tests in the combination of the NFL, and the injury may require surgery.
However, after more scanning on Carter’s right foot, doctors told defender Star that surgery is not advisable, according to ESPN.

“I could not be safer that this will be a non -factor where Carter agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Thursday, through ESPN.
“He will organize a show on his professional day.”
Carter, before the discovery of the stress reaction, was not going to work in the NFL Combine due to a shoulder injury. He played in that condition in the defeat of Penn State A Notre Dame at Orange Bowl.
Defensor Star was recently authorized to resume training. Carter’s shoulder injury will not prevent him from acting at a “very high level” on his professional day on March 28, Rosenhaus said.

Carter was the best defensive player of the Big Ten in 2024 with 68 cups, 23.5 Tacle for losses and 12 captures last season.
In his career, Carter has 39.5 tacle for loss, 23 captures and 14 defeated passes.
It is likely that the 21 -year -old goes in the first selections of the NFL draft, but Carter believes he should choose.
“I feel that I am the best player in the country, and the best player must be elected first,” Carter said Wednesday talking to journalists. “It is the work I put with my dad, who trained me, and all the sacrifices I did, I know I am the best.”
If you jump to the winner of Travis Hunter of Travis Hunter and the two best quartbacks of the class, Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward, Carter would be only the fourth defensive player in number 1 in general since 2007.

Jadeveon Clowney in 2014, Myles Garrett in 2017 and Travon Walker in 2022 are the three defenders who have been selected with the best choice since 2007. Each was chosen mainly due to their starting skill.
“Defensive players impact the game as much as the field marshal,” Carter said. “All the teams that have won Super Bowls, have that outstanding player. I feel that I am.”
Only time will say if you have the Titans, who have the number 1 team, will use the upper selection in Carter on the weekend of the Draft.
