UA Fan Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 BRIEFS: LB Reggie Torbor said the Giants will add linebackers via free agency and/or the draft because, "There are only four of us." Torbor, Antonio Pierce and Carlos Emmons are the proposed starters with Chase Blackburn -- who has been given 100 percent clearance from last Christmas Eve's season-ending neck injury -- the lone reserve with any experience. Blackburn added an inch to his neck size while rehabbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA Fan Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 *Linebacker Chase Blackburn, who was carted off the field in Washington on Dec. 24 and missed the season’s final two games (including the playoffs) with a neck injury, said he is fully recovered. “There are no lasting effects,†Blackburn said. “I feel real good. I have full movement, full range. The first hit, maybe I’ll be a little wary of. But once I get it and nothing comes back, it’s full go again.†Blackburn has taken steps to ensure he doesn’t suffer a similar injury. “I have a little thicker neck,†he said. “I put an inch on my neck by working on it every day. That was my whole rehab, strengthening my neck. Once it healed I put a little thickness on it to make sure it couldn’t move as far.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljc Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 It's great to hear that Blackburn will be fine. I was wondering how that would go. How about adding an inch to your neck size? Good luck to Chase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
