Alouettes Green confident he won’t miss a step after missing nearly a full season
MONTREAL — Receiver S.J. Green is confident he will not miss a step when he returns to the Montreal Alouettes after missing nearly all of last season with a knee injury.
The four-time 1,000-yard receiver is on the mend from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in the second game of the 2016 season.
“I’m confident in my ability always,” Green said Tuesday on a visit for a medical checkup and to meet with the team’s new general manger and coaching staff. “I’m confident in my preparation and my off-season work, which will allow me to play freely.
“I’ve been cleared to participate (in training camp) so my knee is fine. What I hear from people who have gone through this injury is about the mental part. When you play, when you’re ready to stick and plant, are you babying it? Are you not fully allowing the impact to take place. That’s going to be my biggest challenge.
