Darian Durant ready to play one year after injury
“Way to remind me,” Darian Durant said with a bit of smile when asked how he’s feeling one year after his season ending Achilles injury.
“It’s something I’m trying to forget.”
And so, too, is the Rider Nation. When Durant went down during a seemingly harmless play the first game of the regular season, so did the season itself. The team finished an abysmal 3 and 15. And it became apparent that in many ways the fate of the franchise rests on Durant’s shoulders. Though he said he tries not to look at it that way.
“I just try to look at myself as one piece of the puzzle. One guy out of 12 or 22 out there on the field that can help the team win,” he said.
