I wanted to clean it up a little bit. Had some scar tissue from the ACL (surgery) in there that was hindering the extension of my knee. I could have really not done it. But I feel like I get more performance, full flexion.” While the Packers have been practicing on Ray Nitschke Field, Barnett has been working out inside the Hutson Center with the rest of the rehabilitation group. “I’ve been doing everything - running, cutting, jumping; I’m pretty much full-go,” said Barnett, who had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in November 2008. “I don’t think I’ll miss any training camp. I think it’s just at this point, it didn’t make sense to go out there after that right now.” Source: Journal Sentinel | | |
