"I'm a very privileged person, a very blessed person. I'm trying to take advantage of my opportunity that I have. So, it hasn't been that tough for me. The 22-year-old rebutted that interim head coach Mike Kafka had changed the practice time, and he was unaware of it. I took ownership for it, he continued. We've moved on from it. We're focused on this week, so that's what I'm trying to focus on."
"The first thing is, Abdul, he's got my full support, Kafka said. We're all here for him, our coaches, the players, the leadership group. It's not really necessarily about Abdul, but about everybody in our unit, in our team. They've got our support, and we're here; we've got their backs. So, I'd expect him to approach it like he does every day. He practices his tail off,"
Abdul Carter missed a practice last week while receiving treatment and was benched for the first defensive series in a Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Initial reports accused him of sleeping through practice and suggested a pattern of tardiness. Carter said he was unaware that interim head coach Mike Kafka had changed practice time, took ownership of the mistake, and said the team has moved on. The rookie has struggled this season with only half a sack through 11 games despite being expected to be a disruptive edge rusher. Kafka expressed full support from coaches and teammates.
