When Glover Quin had off-season surgery on his ankle two years ago, the Detroit Lions took a patient approach to their top safety's rehab.
Quin sat out most of the team's spring workouts in 2014, including organized team activities and minicamp, and he responded with a Pro Bowl year that fall.
Quin underwent a second procedure on the same ankle this off-season, and while the surgery wasn't quite as involved, he said his recovery is ahead of schedule thanks to a rehab program he followed after the season and he hopes to be cleared for the start of voluntary workouts next week.
