Rookie defensive end Jeremy Jarmon is optimistic about making a full recovery from surgery to repair the ACL he tore in his left knee covering a kickoff last Sunday at Philadelphia.
“It’s definitely disappointing,” said Jarmon, who missed six or seven months following knee surgery as a freshman at Kentucky. “It’s a setback for me, but I’m going to recover. I’m going to come back stronger. I know that. I know it’s going to be a long recovery process, but I’m up for it. I’m looking forward to it as much as I can be.”
