FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Ryan Kalil has had a whirlwind month.
From retirement to a new team in a new city with new teammates and coaches. And, now, the New York Jets center is nearly ready to play again.
“I feel like I’m getting my legs back,” Kalil said Tuesday, “and feel like my old self.”
The 34-year-old Kalil walked away from football after last season, his 12th with the Carolina Panthers. He was convinced he was done with the game — until the desire to play again began gnawing at him during the winter.
