The Giants' rookie Abdul Carter is facing a familiar challenge: another benching for violating team rules. This time, it's his second strike in three games under interim head coach Mike Kafka. The issue? Carter's tardiness, a recurring trend during his rookie season, despite no apparent discipline from former head coach Brian Daboll. Multiple sources confirm Carter's tardiness, but some team members deny a pattern. The consequences of his actions are clear: Carter missed the first quarter of the game, and only a punt return touchdown prevented him from missing more plays. This isn't his first offense; two weeks ago, he missed a 15-minute walk-through, claiming it was part of his recovery regimen. However, the team's message is clear: no excuses. The Giants confirmed Carter's benching as a 'coach's decision', and with Kayvon Thibodeaux sidelined, Carter's opportunities are limited. Will he learn from this latest setback? Only time will tell.
