Tight end Derek Carrier has spent all of the season on the physically-unable-to-perform list, but now is allowed to begin practicing in hopes of being activated to the 53-man roster. However, on Wednesday, Carrier worked on a side field, running routes and catching passes from a member of the Redskins’ training staff, as he has for many days in recent weeks.

News is better than I expected for the first day of practice. Would love to see Cravens this week. I didnt even know we retained Carrier this year. Why him over Paulson?

We gave up a 5th rounder for Carrier. He's actually a very talented athlete. Was looking good last year before his injury. Will be a good force for special teams and as a flex.

I think Carrier is slightly above JAG status and he helped us tremendously last year when we had no one but him but I didnt think we kept 4 TE this year - Reed, Davis, Paul. I imagine we will have to make a roster move to add him to the 53 ... hopefully it wont be Reed to IR.
