Hopefully it's not something that costs him more than a couple starts, and hopefully something maybe that serves him well and gives his body a little break,"He's up and moving already. I actually threw with him out here. He's doing agility drills. He's hitting the ground already in the rehab process, so hopefully it's not something that costs him too much time."
