Together again, training camp has begun for the Indianapolis Colts and it is an exciting time for all of us.Unfortunately, as you may know, I am not able to be out there on the field with my teammates at the moment as I had a procedure on my knee a few weeks ago. I'm following the doctors' instructions right now, but still have plenty of time to get ready by the time Week 1 rolls around. I'm not really in very much pain right now, which the doctors think means the infection is clearing. I appreciate everyone's concern and support, but in the meantime, I am still getting ready for the season, studying film, tossing a few balls and talking with teammates.That said, I definitely still get excited for training camp. I can't promise you that my offensive line feels the same way as training camp is work. It's a grind as a football player, but I get excited about the chance for our team to come together really for the first time. For everyone out there, it's a chance to bond on the practice field, bond in the dorm rooms at a small college, no carpet, one bathroom for every four guys. It's like camp as a kid, except we get to go to camp as an adult. That's part of the fabric of our league.No matter what level you play at - Pop Warner, high school, college or in the pros, there is chemistry and those bonds that form in practice early in the summer, maybe on a training table, eating meals together or maybe even hanging out in a dorm room... and somewhere that's going to make a difference. It might mean converting a key third down or making a big stop on defense when we need it. So I still do get excited.Of course, I also get excited because it means that the regular season is getting closer. For me, it's hard to know how much time I'll need to get ready because I've never had to experience something like this before. I'm going into my 11th year now, so I think I have enough deposits in the bank to be ready for a new season without much work in training camp, though it will still be a challenge getting ready. You can't expect to just walk onto a field against the Bears and be 100%ready.Our team practices about an hour north of Indianapolis in Terre Haute at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Every year, I love driving up there, sending a mass text message to my teammates to fire them up, something like " let's do it this year." And they'll respond back "Yeah, let's do it." "Let's make this our year," that's a fun feeling.
