00:00 First thing is, let me tell you, he has worked extremely hard.
00:04 He has passed the physical.
00:07 But that does not mean he will be back in full contact.
00:09 All right?
00:11 We've got a progression in play here.
00:13 He'll start out practice and pretty much just
00:17 go through individual, start building his endurance back up.
00:22 But slowly but surely, we'll get there.
00:24 He has worked extremely hard.
00:27 There's really no timeline on exactly when he'll
00:30 be completely cleared for contact.
00:33 But it's good to get him back, just his presence back
00:36 on the team, back out in drill work, is important for us.
00:41 Has his progress this time been different than before?
00:44 I don't know how easy that is to assess.
00:47 It's hard, you know, because he had a little bit of a--
00:49 you know, it's the nerve issue.
00:52 But what I will tell you is, it's been really good.
00:56 And he's-- I mean, he has diligently worked to get back.
01:01 So we'll just see.
01:04 Time will tell on it overall.
01:07 But right now, very encouraged.
