Lions’ Ryan Broyles ‘closing in on a full recovery’
By Mike Dyce
Detroit Lions wide receiver Ryan Broyles can’t seem to catch a break. He has had three consecutive season-ending injuries dating back to his college career, and he is once again spending an offseason trying to rehabilitate an injury for the upcoming season. The good news for the Lions, and Broyles, is that he is nearing a full recovery.
From MLive.com:
"General manager Martin Mayhew said earlier this offseason that Broyles attacks rehab harder than just about any player he has ever seen, and that regimen has Broyles closing in on a full recovery."
“I’m gettin’ right, man. I really am,” Broyles said. “(Rehab) is not fun. It’s not anything I wanted to have happen. But I just got to be smart, at the end of the day.
“I’m always a positive person. Everything happens for a reason, and this will be a good testimony for me years on. Just got to continue to work, and whatever comes my way, I’ll continue to attack it.
“But it sure is good to get back out here and play football again.”
Unfortunately for Broyles, the Lions aren’t necessarily committed to making Broyles an integral part of their offense. They went out and signed former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate in the offseason.
That could benefit Broyles, using him in a limited role to get some production out of him and giving him an opportunity to get through the season unscathed.
