Rookie linebacker Bruce Carter learning a few things about the NFL
After four games, rookie linebacker Bruce Carter has learned a few things about the NFL.
“There’s really no holding calls,” he said with a smile. “I learned that. I’m still learning that.”
Carter is playing on punt coverage and return and kickoff coverage and return. He’s made a special teams tackle in three of the four games and made a pass breakup in the regular defense against Seattle.
“I’m just learning my plays, just trying to get out there, get some experience,” said Carter, who was activated from the reserve non-football injury list the week before the Philadelphia game. He had been sidelined by a knee ligament injury suffered last season in college.
Carter gave credit to Redskins punt returner Brandon Banks, who had a 55-yard return against the Cowboys on Sunday.
“He’s a good returner. He’s hard to see,” Carter said. “It’s kind of an advantage for them. It’s an advantage for us because he’s smaller, but at the same time, it’s a disadvantage because you can’t see him.”
