Roughriders’ Eric Norwood on the mend from ACL injury
Eric Norwood is more than ready for his return to the football field – his knee on the other hand, isn’t quite there.
Norwood tested out his knee for the first time since tearing his ACL in the western semi-final last year while playing for Hamilton.
Norwood spent the first six weeks of the season on the Riders six-game injured list, but he and the team wanted to test out his progress, so he practiced late last week.
“I think we got a pretty good gauge of things right now, and we know what to work on,” Norwood said. “There’s not many things I need, there’s not anything that’s really hindering me. It’s going really well.”
