New York Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas on Saturday said he was medically cleared for training camp some 11 months after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament during a preseason game against the Chicago Bears.
Jeremiah: Return trips unlikely
How hard is it to make it to the AFC or NFC Championship Game two straight years?Daniel Jeremiah says recent history doesn't bode well for Ravens, Patriots, 49ers, Giants.
"I have no limitations entering camp; obviously (medical staff) will be monitoring me throughout camp," Thomas said on his website. Giants camp begins on July 28.
"The road just started; I have a lot of work to do," Thomas added. "I just want to let you know that I have been working real hard. I am determined to get to the same form as last year and to be a great addition to our secondary."
Thomas told NFL Network last month at his youth football camp in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., that he fully expects to be the Giants' starting cornerback.
"I've said I'm the starter, and they brought me back to be the starter, and that is the mindset I have," he said. "I'm not going to go in saying, 'Oh, I want to compete for a job.' No, I'm the starter."
Thomas, a second-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, has appeared in 44 games over three seasons (2008 to 2010) with the New York Giants, picking off 11 passing and returning one INT for a touchdown.
