Patriots' Kicker Gostkowski Eager To Return
BOSTON (CBS) - Stephen Gostkowski is ready to return to football.
The Patriots kicker missed the final eight games of the regular season after tearing his quadriceps on November 7th in Cleveland. A trip to the injured-reserve and surgery followed, but Gostkowski is moving along and should be ready for the 2011 season.
"Leg's feeling good, just rehabbing," Gostkowski said from Children's Hospital in Boston. "Doing rehab is one of the toughest things you can go through. It's a long time till you actually get to do something with it. I have a lot of time on my side. I'm feeling good just doing what I can, hopefully I'll see no setbacks."
