Player Notes
June 13, 2008
Philip Rivers, who is recovering from a torn ACL, states that he could start a game right now, if needed, according to Yahoo Sports.

Our View:He is leading the first-team offense in practice without any issues, and is expected to be close to 100% by the start of training camp. His recovery has been very smooth and quick, and his statement gives us further encouragement he will be under center for the Chargers in Week 1.

In his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, quarterback Philip Rivers has progressed to the point where he is leading the first team in almost every rep during offseason workouts, including in 11-on-11 drills against the defense, according to the Sporting News.

Our View:Every once in awhile, Billy Volek fills in with the starters while Rivers stands off to the side and watches or stretches his surgically repaired right knee. Rivers is expected to be almost 100 percent by the start of training camp.
June 6, 2008
The Chargers concluded a second week of voluntary offseason coaching sessions on Thursday and Philip Rivers is well ahead of scheduled in his knee rehab, this according to the North County Times.

Our View:The report noted that Rivers' recovery has been swift, and that it is hard to believe it was just four-plus months ago that Rivers tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a playoff victory in Indianapolis. He underwent surgery on Jan. 23. It's always concerning when a player recovers too quickly, almost as concerning as one that doesn't fully recover. Sometimes they believe they can do too much - too soon.
June 4, 2008
Reports out of San Diego are sounding sighs of relief as Chargers passer Philip Rivers appears to be recovering from injury well ahead of schedule, according to ProFootballTalk.com.

Our View:Rivers suffered a torn ACL late last season and his projected rehab was set to force a late start to training camp. However, Adam Schefter from the NFL Network noted Rivers was on the practice field today, taking ten snaps with the starting offense and leading the unit's 11-on-11 drills earlier this week.

Philip Rivers ran with the first-string offense through team drills on Monday. "I was prepared to have him really not do anything except throw routes against air," head coach Norv Turner tells the team's official web site. "He's just making great progress." Rivers underwent surgery in late January to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. "I think throwing the ball I've been as accurate as I've been during an offseason," Rivers says. "If I can just keep working, the key thing is just make sure I'm completely comfortable in the pocket and not worrying about something happening."

Our View:This is very encouraging news for Rivers and the Chargers. He is not a scrambling quarterback, so we're fairly positive about his prospects heading into the season. All signs point to Rivers being ready well in advance of Week 1.
