Antrel Rolle says rehab is 'ahead of schedule'

Antrel Rolle was sprinting around the Giants practice field yesterday as if last Monday's fall and subsequent gloomy exit from the practice field on a training cart never happened.

Tom Coughlin never thought the injury would keep Rolle off the field for long. And it appears he was right.

Rolle says he should be back soon.

"I'm going to return to practice when I'm ready, whenever I can go out there and feel like I'm not favoring it," he said. "Right now, we're ahead of schedule and things are going good."

Rolle recently said that walking boots are "for wimps" but did not begrudge fellow teammate Victor Cruz for sporting one yesterday.  

Rolle hasn't needed one for quite some time, and needs nothing more than some supportive tape during his workouts.

"I want him to be in that boot, we gotta make sure we take care of Victor," Rolle said. "We all know what he means to this team. If he has to walk around in a boot for a month, so be it. Maybe I'll put one on too to show I'm with him."

Rolle admits he's not 100 percent at this point, but that he didn't expect to be running as soon as he was yesterday.

"To be honest, I didn't even expect myself to be out here running, doing drills, cutting, so forth and so on. I had a preview of that yesterday and it felt alright," he said. "I wouldn't say it felt 100 percent but it felt alright. I'm just going to keep grinding."

Rolle couldn't say whether or not he would play against the Jets on Saturday.
