Redskins defensive end Andre Carter underwent surgery at Stanford University Medical Center to reattach the tendon in his left bicep Wednesday and faces two months of rehabilitation.
Carter said he’ll take it easy during the organized team activities and minicamps, but that he would clearly be ready in time for training camp. His offseason workouts also will begin later than usual, especially his martial arts sessions. He’ll start those after the OTAs and minicamps.

Carter deserves credit for playing the final two games after tearing his biceps, especially for a team that had little to gain by winning. He finished the season tied with Brian Orakpo for the team high with 11 sacks, the second highest total of his career.
This could be an important offseason for him with the Redskins expected to switch to a 3-4 defense. That would require a position change for Carter, who played outside linebacker in a 3-4 in his final year with San Francisco.
