After spending time in California while rehabbing from surgery to repair a torn biceps, linebacker/defensive end Andre Carter has returned to the area for the minicamp that begins Friday at Redskins Park. Carter has not been cleared to participate in team drills, "but I wanted to be here to support my teammates and get going on all the new stuff we're going to be doing," Carter said in a phone interview Monday. "They haven't cleared me to do everything yet, so I'll just have to get a lot of mental reps and work with my position coach [linebackers coach Lou Spanos] on some of the things I'll need to do. But I wanted to be here. I felt I needed to be here." Source: Washington Post
