Veteran receiver Amani Toomer expects his surgically repaired left knee to be ready when the New York Giants open training camp in a little less than two months.After attending Monday's organized team activity practice, Toomer said his knee felt 70 to 80 percent its normal strength.
''I am not really surprised, actually they have been slowing me down a little to keep me going for the long haul,'' said Toomer, who is the team's all-time leading receiver in yards gained (8,157) and No. 2 in receptions (561) behind the recently retired Tiki Barber (586).his has been a strange offseason for the 32-year-old Toomer. It started in November when he tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in a game against Houston and underwent surgery, missing the final eight games of the regular season and the playoff loss to Philadelphia.
For some 11-year veterans, that type of an injury might start questions about retirement. Not for Toomer.
''I just still feel like I have a lot more to prove and a lot more to do in the game. When the time is right, I'll know. But it doesn't feel right now, so I'm going to keep on going,'' he said.
