Nate Irving Back Practicing, Hoping To Play Week One

INDIANAPOLIS – The competitor in Nate Irving says the 15-20 team reps he is getting in practice isn’t enough.

Talking with his head, and not his heart, Irving knows that about 10 months removed from a season-ending ACL injury has him right on track with that amount of work.

“I have common sense to know that I have to build it up and it’s a process,” Irving says of his ACL recovery nearing an end.

“I’m right at the beginning of that process and I trust in the coaches and training staff that’s taking care of me and telling me what to do.
