LUBBOCK (October 5, 2009)--Texas Tech guard and team captain Brandon Carter is back from his suspension for violating team rules.
Tech spokesman Chris Cook said Carter, who’s known for his colorful Mohawk, practiced Sunday for the first time in more than a week.
Tech didn’t release details of what led to the suspension.
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported that Carter threw his helmet and loudly criticized coaches after a Sept. 19 loss at Houston, but Cook told The Associated Press he couldn't confirm the story.
Carter was one of the Tech players who had a Twitter page before coach Mike Leach banned them, but the suspension was unrelated.
Tech beat New Mexico 48-28 last weekend.
The Red Raiders face Kansas State at home Saturday
