Patriots' Mohamed Sanu 'Way Ahead of the Curve' After Ankle Surgery, Per Trainer

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu's trainer gave a positive update Wednesday regarding the wideout's recovery from offseason ankle surgery.

According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, Hilton Alexander said: "I would tell you he's probably faster, quicker, leaner and in better shape now than prior to the surgery. I would say he's way ahead of any doctor's knowledge or prediction where he would have been at this point. Way ahead of the curve."

The Pats acquired Sanu from the Atlanta Falcons in October for a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, but a high ankle sprain prevented Sanu from contributing as much as expected.
