The Facts:
Rivers has contested throughout this offseason that patience would be his biggest challenge as he recovers from a February operation to repair the ACL in his right knee. Now, 12 weeks into his rehabilitation, Rivers is very pleased with the progress he's made. He started running roughly one week ago and on Friday added some more resistance training to his workout. "I started out with a little jog," Rivers said. "It feels good. I think I'm ahead, but at least where I need to be right now."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While he isn't ready to handle all the mechanics required to drop-back and throw from the pocket, he is picking up a football and throwing it around a little. "I can't do the full-speed drops with the timing," he said. "I can stand (still) and give you all I've got. It's the drop. It's getting out there, jamming my foot in the ground and letting it rip. ..." Still, the fact he's taking as active a role as possible in the first round of off-season workouts is encouraging. And for the record, Rivers is more than confident that he'll be ready for the start of training camp in late July.
