Colts star returns to practice Tuesday, but coach Chuck Pagano reminds pass rusher has to make progress to be game ready.
Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano couldn’t see the excitement in Robert Mathis’ eyes when the outside linebacker returned to practice Tuesday.
The eyes were hidden behind a helmet visor.
But No. 98 was pumped up. He ran out to the field for his first workout with the team after being cleared by doctors in his rehabilitation from a left Achilles tendon tear.
Pagano reminded Mathis is just getting started with individual work and the six-time Pro Bowl pass rusher still has a long way to go to be game ready.
