COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Replacing a concentrated look with a smile after answering a reporter's question, Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Jason Verrett said he's appreciative of the little things, like the ability to again make the cat-quick movements in individual drills that allowed him to earn a Pro Bowl invitation three years ago.
For the better part of two seasons, Verrett has dealt with the frustration of an ACL injury in his left knee suffered during a 2016 Week 3 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. It never fully healed, requiring a second procedure in September of last year.
