The Facts: A little more than two months removed from a season-ending shoulder injury and surgery, Quick’s shoulder rehab is still at a relatively early stage. “I’m doing range of motion right now, just trying to get that strength back,” Quick said. “I’m using a little weight right now, a three-pound weight just to try and get that strength back up. So we’re moving forward with everything.”

Quick isn’t sure when he’ll return. But shortly after the surgery, HC Jeff Fisher indicated that Quick might not return until training camp. Raw as can be when he came into the NFL as a second-round draft choice in 2012 out of Appalachian State, Quick seemingly could still use every practice rep he can get. But if he has to sit out the entire offseason program, as well at the OTA practice sessions in June, Quick doesn’t think it will set him back. “Most of it’s mental,” he said. “As I stay focused mentally, I’ll be prepared. I do need to be out there with the pace (of the game and practice). But me having three years in, I have an advantage.” Quick did seem to be up to speed this fall. After two largely quiet seasons, when he combined for 29 catches for 458 yards and four touchdowns, Quick had things clicking in 2014. His 25 catches, 375 yards, and three TDs all were career highs -- and he did that in less than 6 ½ games. Projected over 16 games, Quick was on pace for 64 catches, 973 yards, and eight TDs. He'll be worth watching next summer -- assuming he's healthy enough.
