Indianapolis Colts’ Reggie Wayne: ‘Nothing has set me back’
By Jack Crosby
Despite yet another run to the playoffs last season, you could tell that the Indianapolis Colts missed having veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne in the fold on offense. Missing last season with a knee injury that required surgery was a tough break for one of the best veteran players in the NFL, but he’s back in 2014 to help lead the Colts on another playoff charge.

And in even better news, he’s feeling great out there on the field again.
“Like I’ve been saying, so far, so good,” Wayne said following Thursday morning’s walkthrough at Anderson University. “I haven’t had any problems, nothing out of the norm.
“I haven’t had any pain. Nothing has set me back.”
So far in camp, Wayne has been looking like his old self once again as he was pulling off amazing catches on balls from quarterback Andrew Luck. Even head coach Chuck Pagano seems pleased with the way his star has looked thus far.
“That’s the way it looked to me,” Pagano offered last week after watching Wayne go through his first full-squad work since having his knee repaired. “When you go back, you watch it live and then you go back and watch it on film. It’s really incredible.
“But again, it probably doesn’t shock anybody here. It certainly doesn’t shock me. We all know his mindset, his work ethic and his determination, and how bad he wanted to get back.”
