Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn said one-time Pro Bowl cornerback Desmond Trufant, who underwent season-ending pectoral surgery back in the winter, will be held out of offseason workouts as a precaution.
Trufant initially suffered the injury in a Nov. 3 win at Tampa Bay. He visited the doctors for a second opinion during the week of Nov. 29 and then followed up with the surgery. Such a procedure typically involves three to four months of recovery.
"Trufant is coming along great,'' Quinn responded at the NFC coaches breakfast in Phoenix. "We won't have him practice during [organized team activities], but by the time we get to training camp, he'll be ready to go and battle.
