giants abdul carter benched.

New York Giants rookie Abdul Carter is eager to move past his public punishment for missing a walkthrough last week. Carter was benched for the first defensive series against Green Bay by interim coach Mike Kafka. Carter disputed a report that he was sleeping in the team facility and argued he was doing recovery instead. The No. 3 pick in the draft is expected to be back in the starting lineup Sunday at Detroit. Carter is still looking for his first full sack in the NFL. Kafka said he’s proud of how the Penn State product has handled the situation.
