The Facts:
The Dolphins' new QB took the field for the start of training camp Saturday, nine months after a right knee injury ended his 2005 season. Culpepper said he felt no pain or limitations in his movement, and he plans to take part in every workout, even on days when the team practices twice. "So far, everything is a thumbs-up," he said. "I had visions when I got hurt to be here today to start training camp, and I still have visions to be ready for the first game."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The opener against Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh is Sept. 7, less than six weeks away. Given the speedy pace of Culpepper's recovery, he may be ready. "We're encouraged by the progress he has made," Nick Saban said. "It has all been a pleasant surprise for us. ..." Nothing like a good start. And as long as he avoids setbacks, Culpepper truly appears to heading towards a Week 1 start.
