Former University of Georgia linebacker Lorenzo Carter is out for the season. Carter, who plays for the New York Giants, suffered a torn Achilles Sunday afternoon against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Giants are 0-5 to start the season and it is a tough blow to lose one of their better pass-rushing linebackers to injury. Carter will have Achilles surgery to repair the injury. The Achilles surgery is one of the toughest recoveries for an athlete to undergo. Best of luck to Lorenzo Carter in the process.
Carter played for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2014-2017. The New York Giants selected him in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Carter had one sack on the season for New York. He’s started 19 games over his three year NFL career and has 9.5 career sacks.
The New York Giants reported the unfortunate news via their official Twitter account:

Lorenzo Carter’s injury adds more adversity to the slate for the Giants. New York is already missing Saquan Barkley for the season.
