His last couple of weeks have been generally positive. He was good under fire against the Patriots last week.
bruise counting hoping type
I'm hoping and counting on it being some type of bruise or some kind of sprain. To what degree, I don't know.
coming east expected felt games knew playing redskins seemed task
I really felt that they were zoomed in on the task at hand. It was very good, and it was very serious. Everyone seemed to be focused. ... We knew this would be one of those NFC East divisional games with the Redskins coming in here and playing as well as they can. We expected it to be a four-quarter game like all of these games have been.

above ball catch defender finding hands knack puts spending
If you're spending one defender on the guy, he has a knack for finding a way to get the ball, ... He's a big target. He can catch the ball with his hands above his head, which puts him well above most cornerbacks and most safeties.
I never want them too comfortable, ... That's not what this is about.
anxious excited feels good himself position
He's excited and we are, too; anxious to get going, really, ... I think he has put himself in a position where he feels real good about where he's at.
criticism extremely good handled motivated
He's pretty much even-keeled in his approach. When his play was lavished with praise, I think he handled that well, and he handles the criticism well. I think he's extremely motivated to be as good as he can be.
days expect feels last practiced ready
He's practiced the last two days and feels good. I expect him to be ready to go.
although feels good gradually playing schedule
He's progressing well. He feels good about it. The soreness is gradually dissipating. I would say he's on schedule for the opener, although we're going to be cautious. I don't see him playing this week.
expect throughout
He's progressing each week, and I expect that to (continue) throughout the year.
players question
I don't question that part of his workout. I just think the important thing is for the players to be together.
came catch seems
Hopefully, that's not going to be an issue. He jumped up to catch a ball, just came down wrong. It seems to be a lateral ankle, which would be encouraging that we would be able to get him right back.
