Chargers' Jason Verrett is hoping he's turned the corner on recovery from knee surgery

Jason Verrett was once the Chargers’ first-round pick, a dynamic cornerback who quickly earned himself a spot on the Pro Bowl roster in his second season. Verrett was once on track to be a fixture in the Chargers’ secondary, a piece the defense could be built around.

But two knee surgeries later, all of that feels like a distant memory. On Day 2 of minicamp Wednesday, Verrett was just a guy entering the final year of his contract, a guy optimistic about his future, a guy hoping he’ll be healthy enough to recapture the successes of his past.
