"The beginning was the most challenging, learning how to walk, learning how to do the simple things I've been doing all my life. All the little things I couldn't do," Albert said after Thursday's first practice of training camp. "I was praying. I just wanted to walk again. I told people I didn't think I was going to play football again, but now the time is here and I'm just happy to be here."
Due to Albert's relentless hard work rehabbing his knee, the team was able to avoid placing him on the physically unable to perform list.
