Giants Lose Thibodeaux, Rely on Carter for Pass Rush

Giants Star Linebacker Kayvon Thibodeauxs Season Ended, Rookie Abdul Carter Steps UpThe New York Giants season takes a hit as star outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeauxs shoulder injury ends his 2025 campaign. The team placed him on injured reserve, ruling him out for the rest of the year. Thibodeaux, who had 25 tackles and 2.5 sacks in ten games, will be replaced by rookie Abdul Carter. Carter has been playing over 80% of defensive snaps in recent games and has recorded a career-high seven tackles and two sacks in his last two games. The Giants pass rush, led by Brian Burns, has cooled off recently, but they have a chance to rebound against the Minnesota Vikings, who give up sacks on 10.2% of dropbacks, the third-highest in the league.
