Abdul Carter has a Foot Injury that Allegedly “Will be a Non-Factor Where He’s Drafted”
Published:
Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday evening that Penn State’s Abdul Carter, who is a Philadelphia product and diehard Eagles fan, was dealing with a stress reaction in his right foot. He had the option of going under the knife or letting it heal without surgery:
Doctors told Penn St. DE and projected No. 1 pick Abdul Carter that, after further scans on his right foot, surgery is not advisable. Carter will work out at his March 28 pro day at Penn State.

When I put on my kelly green tinfoil hat, I believe that this is all working out exactly as planned. Drew Rosenhaus says that he “couldn’t be more confident that this will be a non-factor,” but Rosenhaus is an agent, and whatever comes out of his mouth is less credible than a report from a British tabloid saying the Eagles won’t go to the White House.
I’m willing to bet that Carter’s foot is totally fine. Maybe even his shoulder. This is the first step in scaring off NFL teams who think they are dealing with the next Joel Embiid. It’s too risky! I just need Schefty to write “Navicular Bone” in his next tweet and that’s good enough to get Abdul Carter to drop out of the top 15 entirely. Then Howie Roseman fleeces some jamoke in the late teens and we’re cooking with gas.
