Re: Long Cleared, In Contract talks with Rams
Awesome.
[textarea]According to Andrews, Long is in the best shape he has seen the player in years.
"I just saw him [Wednesday] and he looked great," said Andrews, who did surgery to repair a ruptured left triceps injury that cost Long the final four games of the 2012 season. In addition, Long missed the final game of the 2011 season with a biceps injury and has had shoulder and knee surgery.
Still, Andrews said he would have no qualms telling a team to sign Long and expect strong results.
"I asked him about his knee and he said it's the best he has felt in years," Andrews said. "Like I said, this is the kind of kid you want. I'm not worried about him at all."
Andrews said if the season were about to start, Long would be cleared to play, though he recommends the lineman take another month to let his triceps injury heal.
