Hopefully him, Allen, and Ballard come back better than ever!

For what it's worth,  Andrea Kramer, who covers health and injury issues for NFL.com did a series on the type of knee injury that Reggie suffered.   She even mentioned Reggie as one of the players who suffered the injury (ACL?)

 

Anyway....   within the piece, the players interviewed all say the same thing....   while you're cleared to play,  your knee doesn't feel 100% your first year back.   And your mind knows this.   And you don't feel quite as confident trying to do the things you used to do.

 

All of that typically doesn't happen for a player until their 2nd year after surgery.   So, for Reggie,  the 2015 season.

 

Let's all hope that Reggie is the exception to the rule.............

 His game is pretty much floating into openings so that is a plus. And we can bring him along slowly, more Reps for Rogers.

Confident confident! and I'm happy happy to hear!

[adamthyst]

Reggie is a warrior, I hope he makes the comeback of his life. Not only is he a classy and respectable person, he is a great football player too. I'm proud to have #87 on our side.

[JlynRN]

That's Wonderful news for Reggie !!!  Can't wait to see him back on the field again

I know.    Sorry I don't put that in my original post.

 

My main point is that for all of Reggie's (and our) optimism,  the odds says he'll be something less than 100% this year...  but, if he comes back for another year -- and I think he will -- he'll be back to 100% in 2015.

[loudnproudcolt]

I am going to look on the bright side. First, even if he is 75% of himself he is going to take pressure off TY, Allen, and Nicks. We have so many weapons Reggie does not need to be where he was, although I hope he will be.

 

Second, I have heard most athletes say the same thing about ACL, it is a mindset, just getting to trust it. So Josh Chapman should be a beast this year, since it will be his second year back from his ACL tear!

Wes Welker… A. Peterson . But your right , usually production is down the first year after surgery.

I think Reggie will be fine. His knee will feel 100% his head will just be scared it will get injured again. If there is two ppl in the NFL I have faith in to come back and play 100% or better it would be Reggie or Peyton. I think Reggie is going to feel good. And I think he he's going to play even better.

double confident sounds good to me!

[SOMDColtsfan]

No matter his production the Colts will be a better team with Reggie suited up on Sundays, just leading by example

[Gramz]

I never had a doubt, and I'll be happy to see him back on the field this year, and glad to hear he's confident regarding his recovery.

AD nearly set the all time rushing record the next season after ACL repair.

If Reggies biggest asset was speed, i would be more worried. But he is a move the chains kind of wr. I have no doubt he will have a solid year

[GwinnettColt]

Reggie has the best hands I've ever seen.

 

I would see Andrew overthrow a pass or throw it out to the side.  I'm thinking, "Darn.  Incomplete."   Then Reggie comes up with the ball after contorting his body, catching a seemingly impossible pass, and getting two feet in bounds.  Amazing.

 

I think Reggie may come back later in the season.  Hopefully Nicks can step up and fill in the gap along with Hilton and the others.

Yes this might be true for most players that have and ACL surgery, but remember this is not Reggie's first one. Didn't he have one back in college. He has experienced the mental part of the injury. He has experienced what it felt to be 50, 75, 80, 90, 95, and 100% etc. before. He wants to come back and show everyone that he is not done yet and as a vet who has been though this process before, showing confidence that he will come back better than ever. I believe the 2014 season will be Reggie's 2015 season in doing the things he is used to doing. 

[crazycolt1]

Not to throw a monkey wrench into this but what is he suppose to say? A positive respond is what you get when he has confidence. Did anyone expect him to say anything different no matter what.

[FicmanS]

Reggie will be back AND be the receiver we come to depend on, I'll take an any % Reggie over no Reggie at all...   Any Day

 

Even at 80% he still much better than a good percentage of the guys out there...  IMHO

 

Man I am ready for camp...  

[ProblChld32]

Everything is pointing towards a great comeback season for #87
