When I'm in the game I don't even notice it. Of course, there is the usual ache that has come from the injury, but nothing different from how it has felt all along.

I would love to start up there -- that's what I want. If I don't get it, I just need to keep working to get up there. But it feels good to know that there is a shot right now. I know I missed a whole year, but to have the chance to compete for a spot on the roster is all I can ask for.

I'm ready to go. I don't feel myself doing anything different. It may look like that, but my knee feels fine. I don't even think about it.

I'm getting a lot more confidence. I'm feeling better every day. It's time to show something.

I don't want to see myself anywhere but being back up there, so we'll see what happens.

It's good to know there's a spot still open after all that happened last year. I'm excited.
