WitP: Manuwai, Bess, Rivers, Hercules

Jaguars.com has a profile of Vince Manuwai, who talks about returning from last year's season-ending ACL tear.

It’s been six months since he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in that knee. Manuwai has been cleared by doctors to begin the offseason conditioning program, which officially begins on April 6.

“I said I know I’ll be ready when camp opens up,” Manuwai said of a recent conversation he had with coach Jack Del Rio. “They already know I’m not going to take it all the way.”

“Taking it all the way” is player lingo for “milking it.” Manuwai is not going to milk his injury. That’s not his style; never has been. He’s played on a severely torn calf muscle and on a second-degree knee sprain. If Manuwai says he’ll be ready for camp, you can believe him.

More importantly, the Jaguars need to believe him because his return is at the heart of the offensive line’s recovery.
