FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Kelyn Rowe has a serious case of cabin fever.
Sidelined for the past five games with a right knee sprain – the second-longest stretch he’s missed in six years as a professional – Rowe is more than a little anxious to get back onto the field, and his restlessness hasn’t gone unnoticed in the locker room.
“I’ve hit a run where I’m kind of going crazy, and the guys see it,” Rowe said with laugh. “They’re like, ‘Kelyn, calm down. It’s going to be okay. You’ve got to take it easy.’”
It was a long-awaited relief, then, for Rowe to lace up the boots on Tuesday morning and take his workout from the treatment room to the training field for the first time since suffering his injury on August 20.
