C/G Ted Larsen

(What do you think? How’s your physical condition? Are you ready to play or is it still too close to call?) – “It’s good. I just went out there and tried to get the first day in. It’s awkward. You try to feel your way through it and try to go hard and try to do what you do.”

(How would you describe the feeling of finally being able to get back at practice?) – “It was good. I would’ve liked to do a little bit more but (I) went out there and did a little bit and felt pretty good.”

(Are you in any discomfort physically?) – “No.”

(You feel great?) – “Yes, I feel good. I’m just trying to get better and get all my strength back.”

(How tough is it to come back midseason and try to get back in football shape very quickly?) – “It’s tough. Everybody has been practicing, so you’re kind of thrown in the deep end and you’ve got to (freaking) go, but that’s just what it is.”

(What is a realistic timetable for you, you think? Do you think realistically Carolina?) – “I’m just worried about trying to get better and see what the coaches think. It’s not really my call. (I am) just trying to be prepared when the opportunity arises to play.”

(Are you fully healed? We saw the thing on your arm today.) – “Yes, there’s a brace. It’s healed, obviously. I’m cleared to practice, so it has healed up pretty good. I think the brace is more preventative. It’s doctor’s orders.”

(What was the hardest part of the healing process for you?) – “It’s immobilized for like six weeks. I had a cast on. Trying to be on the bike and lift lower body and stuff, it got kind of stinky. It was my right arm, so I kind of had to learn to do everything left handed.”

(Is it more conditioning at this point than actually healing – because you said you were healed – so is it mostly conditioning?) – “No, it’s not conditioning. I feel in really good shape. It’s more just the playing football, the speed of the game and the explosiveness of the game and getting midseason form after a week or two.”

(What have you seen from just watching? What have you noticed? Do you see anything…) – “Throughout the NFL or the Dolphins?”

(Your team.) – “A lot of guys try hard. The young guys are playing, I guess, playing through bumps and bruises. I think the guys are working hard. I’m just trying to go and contribute.”
