Overview
- Interim coaches benched the rookie for tardiness twice in recent weeks, holding him out of the first series vs. the Packers and the first quarter vs. the Patriots.
- Defensive coordinator Charlie Bullen called Carter’s response “pro-like,” noting he has taken ownership with teammates and increased his workload.
- Interim head coach Mike Kafka said Carter has been arriving at the facility around 7:30 a.m. for extra prep and is expected to start against Washington.
- Carter logged his first full sack and multiple quarterback hits in the loss at New England, though his overall sack total remains low despite strong pressure rates.
- Advanced tracking credits him with 44 pressures and a league-leading 2.21-second time to pressure, while analysts urge him to add counter moves to convert more sacks.
