Derek Carrier 'Felt Good' In First Practice Since Tearing ACL And MCL
Fourth-year veteran tight end Derek Carrier on Monday participated in his first practice since suffering a torn ACL and MCL, calling the moment "exhilarating" as he looks to help the team down the stretch.
After nearly 11 months since suffering a torn ACL and MCL in a game against the Chicago Bears, Washington Redskins tight end Derek Carrier returned to practice on Monday.
Instead of using an agility ladder for rehab, Carrier was going through individual drills with his fellow tight ends and even took part in 1-on-1s. During one of his reps against Duke Ihenacho, Carrier was able to plant off his injured right leg and then cut to his left before hauling in a pass.
