I don't think it's realistic to judge it off of training camp, honestly. Once we get back and we're not practicing twice a day and I give it some time to recover, then I'll have a better (assessment).
Right now I can't play. I'm not really healthy. It's not really to the point where it's healed. It's been a long time that I've been playing injured and I've been doing a lot of damage to my knees for a long time.
At the same time I don't want to be disruptive either, ... I want to make sure I'm doing whatever I can and my body is making the right progress.
I pictured this day for a long time but I didn't think it was going to happen so soon. ... I did everything that I possibly could to get back and finish my career the way I would have like to. But the injury wouldn't allow me to do that. This is the right time for me to move on.
I almost fought back a lot of tears, honestly. It was great, a wonderful feeling. The last time I'd been in this building with a crowd was when I played.
Even though I wasn't practicing twice a day, I was still doing some stuff, ... So it just really didn't have any time to recover. I don't think it's fair to judge it off training camp, though.
