\nWe\u2019ve been in constant communication with him, feel like he\u2019s doing a really good job. Really excited to see him come back. He\u2019s putting in the work, it\u2019s not easy going through what he\u2019s going through. I\u2019ll speak for him, I do know when he does come back, he\u2019s going to be a ball of butcher knives. So, just really excited to get him back.<\/p>\n
\nJust in general, he\u2019s a very large man and he\u2019s been working on that knee. The road back for him is going to be harder than a guy like me who, if I had the same injury, I\u2019m lighter, it is what it is. I know he\u2019s working his tail off and really excited to get him back.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m not sure about that one yet, but excited to get him back for OTAs.<\/p>\n
\nWe\u2019ll see how that works out, that\u2019s stuff that we\u2019re talking through and going through all of OTAs. Like I said, George (Fant) has earned the right to be in the conversation to have that left tackle spot and Mekhi is out there. Call it a competition if you want. We know what George has done and really excited to get him back, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
