Holy moly, does New York Giants rookie linebacker Abdul Carter have a problem. After publicly fighting off allegations that he’s lazy and selfish, one subtle moment caught on camera might just be impossible to defend.

Carter was benched on the opening drive of the Giants’ Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers after being late to a walkthrough. It’s not like he did something horrific -- he was getting red-light therapy in the players’ lounge. Interim head coach Mike Kafka benched him again for the first quarter in Big Blue’s Monday night contest against the New England Patriots.
