Like I said, this is only the beginning. I\u2019ve got a lot to learn and I\u2019m preparing for everything that comes my way. If my chance is Sunday, I\u2019m going to go out there with the intent to lead my team to victory and that\u2019s just the way it is. I\u2019m always going to play like that, be aggressive. I\u2019m never going to hesitate, never going to shy away from anything and just go out there and play ball.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also said that his ankle is close to 100%. &#8220;It\u2019s getting better. (I\u2019ve) been treating it daily. Every single day it\u2019s felt better.

We\u2019ll find out in a couple days.
