The Facts:
Three weeks into his rehab after having his right ACL replaced, Rivers finds that patience is one of his biggest challenges in a recovery that has been very smooth to this point. "The competitor in me says, ‘What can I do now? Can I do a little more tomorrow?'" Rivers said. "I've got to understand that it is a process, but I think at this stage of the game I'm way ahead of where most people at three weeks are."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Since undergoing the operation on January 23, Rivers has regularly spent five days a week working with the team's athletic training staff. Roughly a week after surgery, Rivers had replaced crutches with a heavy brace on his right knee. He's had to discard his golf game this spring, but he's very pleased with how his body has responded in the first three weeks. "I'm moving around well, walking well and I'm able to do a lot of exercises," Rivers said. "I certainly at least feel good about where I am at this point. I feel real good about where I'm going to be when I need to be healthy, the start of training camp. I definitely feel I'll be there."
