Giants left tackle Nate Solder said early this month that he wasn’t sure if he’d be ready for the start of training camp after having ankle surgery, but he sounds a bit more optimistic now.
Solder said his ankle is “progressing really nicely” and that he’s moved from doing mostly rehab work to mostly football activities. As a result, he’s feeling pretty confident that he’ll have the green light to get on the field next month.
“There’s no reason to think that I won’t be there for training camp,” Solder said, via Dan Duggan of TheAthletic.com.
Solder signed a four-year, $62 million contract with the Giants as a free agent last year that briefly made him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the game. He started every game last season.
