Q: How did you feel out there?
Ford: It felt good; it felt good to be back out there running around.

Q: Is this about how long you thought you would be out?
Ford: We just kind of played it day-by-day honestly. They kept asking me how I felt, and I was giving them positive feedback so they just said they would see what I could do and take it easy today and that’s what I went out there and did.

Q: Did the fact that it wasn’t a lower body injury kind of mean you could just go practice and just go?

Ford: Yeah it definitely was a good thing that I was able to keep my legs in shape. I’m thankful that it wasn’t anything in my lower body, so I was able to stay in shape by running with Darren during practice and we were able to hit the ground running when we got back.

Q: Are there any issues with your hand when you catch the ball?
Ford: It felt fine; I didn’t feel anything at all so that’s definitely a good sign.
