The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Locker continues to make strides on the comeback-from-injury trail. The fourth-year pro recently had surgery to remove the hardware in his right foot, which was surgically repaired following a Lisfranc injury last season. He’s out of a walking boot and has moved into a different stage in his rehabilitation. “Surgery went really well. Foot feels awesome and rehab is up and rolling,” Locker said Thursday. “Doctors were happy with how things looked so (I’m) just continuing to follow that trend.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Locker suffered the injury on Nov. 10 during a game against the Jaguars, had surgery shortly thereafter and the foot was placed in a cast. He discarded his crutches in January in favor of the walking boot, which he was still wearing earlier this month. Now he’s in regular shoes. He hopes to take part in organized team activities in June. Locker has missed 14 of a possible 32 starts over the last two seasons because of injuries. In addition to the seven games he missed last season, he missed five games in 2012 because of a shoulder injury that also required offseason surgery. Not surprisingly, Locker's stated goals for 2014 include staying healthy. ... We'll see if his playing style allows that to happen. Until he proves it, fantasy football owners shouldn't get too excited.
