ORCHARD PARK \u2014 DeWayne Carter stood in the middle of practice unwrapping the tape on his wrists like a ball of yarn.<\/p>\n
The white tape went from his forearm all the way to his palm and wrapped around his thumb. Once he got to the end of the tape, he wiggled free a black composite brace. Carter insists he doesn\u2019t need the brace and only uses it when he doesn\u2019t feel like taping his wrists completely.<\/p>\n
