The Facts:
Six weeks after undergoing surgery, Rivers is rehabilitating the knee like a madman, intent on recovering by the time training camp begins in late July. "I would be totally shocked if I'm not ready for training camp," Rivers said. "Obviously, I'm going to be wearing a brace on that knee all year long. Other than the brace, if you come to watch practice the first day of training camp, this is my opinion: I'd be shocked if you could say, 'Aw, he looks a little off, he looks a little different.' So I expect to be rolling by training camp."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rivers plans to return to the football field just more than six months after the injury, which he suffered in the Chargers' playoff victory over the Colts on Jan. 13. And he obviously doesn't expect to be there only in spirit. ... According to Times staffer Mike Sullivan, Rivers will soon start doing exercises in a swimming pool and could receive the go-ahead to begin running by the end of this month. He has been doing a variety of exercises to regain strength in the knee and the muscles in other areas of the leg.
