Redskins TE
Chris Cooley, who remains sidelined with a knee injury, reiterated Monday his confidence that he will be ready for the Sept. 11 season opener against the Giants. “I’m so confident that I’ll be ready Week 1,” he told reporters Monday. “Obviously, I haven’t dealt with this ever before. ...I would love to guarantee you that I was going to play Week 1, but I’m going to do everything I can to push for that date. I’m not at this point thinking Week 2, Week 3, Week 4. My mindset is completely to practice Week 1.” Cooley added he isn't sure how his surgically-repaired knee will respond once he starts practicing and said it's probably a situation he will have to monitor all season. “From people that I’ve talked to who’ve had similar knee issues, it’s something that you end up managing for a period of time, maybe two months, three months, a season,” he said. “Most of the guys I talk to, once they learn how to manage it, once they learn a proper workout routine for what works for them, it seems to dissipate over time. So if it’s this season that I manage it, it’s definitely hopefully by the end of the year I feel better -- and next season there’s almost no issue.”
