It will be 287 days since Cameron Wake last played a real NFL game. Maybe Wake hasn’t done the calculations. Maybe he doesn’t need to.
“It’s been a long road,” Wake said Monday, reflecting on his recovery after tearing his Achilles last October in New England. “I try to put it in the back of my head but it’s reality. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually played a real game.”
Wake was injured chasing Tom Brady and underwent surgery shortly thereafter.
“I’ve run through that last play a thousand times in my mind and I feel like I’ve gotten over it,” Wake said.
