Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis missed all of last season, and his recovery from Achilles surgery may keep him from being ready to start training camp. But Mathis says that his Achilles is healing nicely and he feels good about the pace of his recovery.
“It’s awesome. We’re making big strides, clearing a lot of hurdles and I’m very encouraged,” Mathis said. “There’s not a lot I can’t do. It’s more just being cautious, taking it one step at a time, just taking it like that.”
Mathis said he expects to be on the field for the Week One game against the Bills in three months, but he did allow that it was tough for him to stand back and watch while his teammates went through Organized Team Activities.
