Tight end Derek Carrier may be approaching his third season with the Redskins, but considering the hurdles of adversity he’s faced during his tenure in Washington, this offseason is really like his first.
Carrier was traded to the Redskins just before the 2015 regular season, forcing him to adjust to a new team without much preparation at all. An ACL/MCL injury during a Bears game in December nearly erased his entire 2016 calendar year. He returned to pads last November, receiving limited work as his knee fully recovered from bouts with tendinitis.
