Cesar Ruiz shatters all expectations with his quick return from injury

Guess who's back, back again. Sooner than many people expected, New Orleans Saints right guard Cesar Ruiz was already back at practice as a full participant.

This is after the sixth-year man suffered a high ankle sprain during the week four matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Ruiz's return to practice at this time indicates that he is progressing faster than expected in his recovery from the injury, which usually takes 4-6 weeks to heal. "Physically, I'm feeling great, feeling blessed. By the grace of God, man, I was able to get back there on that field," the former first-round pick said.
