Saints DE Alex Okafor hopes to be ready for training camp
By Nick Underhill
Alex Okafor is hoping to be back in action by training camp.
The defensive end is working his way back from a torn Achilles suffered last season. He's started some light jogging but is not yet doing work on the field.
“I’m right on track. I should be ready to go by training camp,” Okafor said during the #DoRight4LA event at the NFL YET center, where members of the Saints were working to upgrade the building and promote a healthy lifestyle to kids. “Honestly at this point, there’s no rush. We’re just trying to take it one day at a time and make sure that when I do come back, I’m right back where I was.”
Okafor admits that the rehabilitation has been a challenge and that he will likely be sidelined during organized team activities.
It was also a tough break to suffer his injury when he did. Okafor struggled with injuries for a few seasons before getting back on track with the Saints last season. He had 4 ½ sacks through 10 games and felt he was playing the best football of his career.
