It's hard. I won't lie to you. It's hard, ... We have to work a lot extra, a lot harder than other teams.
My knee feels great. My body feels great. All that hard work I put into my lower body is going to pay off. I enjoyed playing the game.
I'm very happy I didn't do the surgery. I'm very happy I went home and busted, worked hard and made myself better. ... I want to show the organization that they can count on me for the whole year. That's important to me.
It hit me harder than I expected when I saw the uniform and some of the guys out there. Not to be able to put that uniform on, it was very, very sad. Hopefully, I will get a chance one day.
Dr. Thomas knew I made the right decision by avoiding surgery. Everything is going like we planned. But I had to work hard and that's what I have been doing.
