Speaking to reporters for the
first time since getting his knee scoped, Willis
McGahee said he has a timetable of sorts for his
return.
"I will be ready [for the regular season] but I don't
know about playing in the preseason," the running back
said today.
McGahee has missed most of training camp and the first
two preseason games because of a knee injury. He said
he doesn't know when he will begin to jog.
In Saturday's 23-15 preseason loss to the Minnesota
Vikings, rookie running back Ray Rice ran for 77 yards
and a touchdown in filling in for McGahee. After the
game, coach John Harbaugh reiterated that McGahee would
be the starting running back when he is ready to
return.
