Colin Kaepernick’s surgeon said Monday his patient’s attitude is helping his progress as he continues to rehab after three surgeries.

“Colin is working very hard and is totally committed to being healthy and ready for next season,” said Dr. Peter Millett of the Steadman Clinic of Vail, Colorado, in a statement.

“His work ethic and positive outlook are no doubt speeding his recovery.”

Kaepernick underwent season-ending surgery in November to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. Kaepernick also had surgical procedures to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Jan.
