Doctors have advised Abdul Carter against having foot surgery, the former Penn State star's agent told ESPN.
Carter, a potential No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, has a stress reaction in his right foot and was facing the possibility of surgery after tests revealed the injury Wednesday.
But after undergoing further scans on his foot, Carter will work out at Penn State's pro day on March 28. Agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN that he now considers the stress reaction to be a "non-factor" in Carter's draft stock.
"I couldn't be more confident that this will be a non-factor where he's drafted," Rosenhaus said Thursday.
