The Facts:
On Monday, Delhomme will take the biggest step yet in his recovery from elbow surgery as he begins throwing a football for the first time with trainer Ryan Vermillion.
Reported by the Gaston Gazette
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While HC John Fox told reporters last week that Delhomme has thrown a few passes here and there, this will be the first week of intensive training specifically devoted to throwing a real ball. Not surprisingly, Delhomme will start with short passes and gradually work his way on up to longer throws. ... As Gazette staffer Steve Reed noted, this week marks the sixth-month anniversary of "Tommy John" surgery to repair ligament damage in Delhomme's right elbow. Reed also reminded readers the recovery process was originally viewed as a 7-9 month process, so Delhomme is right on schedule.
