The No. 46 on Lewis Cine's chest represented his 2022 NFL scouting combine uniform, but the second-year Vikings safety said the sweatshirt from his draft process was a product of how he's feeling now — miles ahead in what he called a "marathon" rehab from compound fractures to his tibia and fibula last fall.
"Feeling comfortable, man," Cine said.
He called rehab a "grueling process," which he's often undergone alone or with small groups this offseason at TCO Performance Center in Eagan. On Monday, Cine was pleased to rejoin many of his teammates as the 2023 squad was allowed together at team facilities for the first time with the start of the offseason program.
