Troy's progress???

Has anyone heard anything about Troy's progress? I'm so anxious to see him this year in Tampa since I missed him in Jan in Miami!

I know he has been participating in the mini-camp and other off-season workouts. I think he has said he feels about 100% and that the knee feels great. Again, this is from memory, but I remember hearing that he has been progressing extremely well and is ready to go.

He stays healthy this season! What about Aaron Smith?

Agreed. I recently read that he was participating in mini camp along with Aaron Smith who is progressing ahead of schedule as well.

Pretty much the same as last year when he refused to wear the brace. He said that it restricted his lateral field movements too much I believe. Anyway, they probably want him to wear the brace as a precautionary measure and if he doesn't want to, I'm fine with that. I'm sure Troy knows his own body better than anyone else, and if the knee feels good I say let him do his thing.

And yes, I have read nothing but good things about Smith's progression as well. I'm pretty sure he has been participating in the mini-camps and off-season workouts.
