The Facts:
A little more than three months after undergoing an operation to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, Rivers was on the field with his teammates Friday morning as they began their 2008 mini-camp. At the conclusion of practice, Rivers expressed a little soreness but was happy with the way the morning went. "It's not 100 percent, but for what we're doing today I was able to pretty much go full go," Rivers said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rivers wore a brace on his plant leg but reportedly looked sharp as he dropped back, set his foot in the ground and delivered the ball with zip to his receivers. Rivers will wear a brace on the knee throughout the season. He promised to be aggressive, yet patient as he pushes himself through the rehab process while continuing to be cautious enough with the knee. "I've been smart," Rivers said. "I'm not going to do anything silly that can cause a setback for me and can potentially hurt me and the team. ..." All indications still point toward Rivers being ready for the start of training camp.
