Detroit — Brandon Pettigrew will be ready for training camp.
Of that the Lions tight end isn’t concerned, and wants to make clear, just months after coming off knee surgery.
“I will be there,” Pettigrew said last week. “The start of training camp, I’ll be there.”
Pettigrew suffered the second torn ACL in his career Dec. 14 in St. Louis, had surgery shortly after, and is now in full rehabilitation — and optimistic about getting back on the field late this summer.
“I’m four months out right now (from having surgery) and I’m ahead of the game,” he said.
