«I would need to be feeling really bad if I'm going to sit out to try to be healthy. The best way you can prepare to play is to play,» he said. If I'm going to sit, I'll sit out of a practice, I'm not going to sit out of a game. If I feel like it's really going to benefit me and I'm in a lot of pain in an area, maybe I'll look at it.
«I also feel like I watched the guys who played before me and I respected and learned from and they didn't sit out for anything,» he said. «So I have a hard time sitting out for anything at all. I feel like you have to play through things. It's part of being a good pro. You play through pain. Time and place and you make that call when the time comes.»
