The Washington Redskins are going to be without safety Kareem Moore for at least the foreseeable future, and they’re not wasting anytime looking for help.
The team signed 11-year veteran Tyrone Carter to provide some help in the secondary, a league source said. Carter spent the previous six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning two Super Bowl rings. He has not missed a game since 2004.
The 34-year-old Carter was named the AFC defensive player of the week last season when he made two interceptions in a victory over the Denver Broncos.
Moore suffered what was believed to be a sprained MCL in his right knee Saturday night in the Redskins’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens at FedEx Field. He was injured without contact pursuing the ball carrier on a fake punt. Moore was reportedly going to have an MRI on his knee Sunday. Whether or not arthroscopic surgery is needed for Moore is not known.
