Joe Thomas looking to be cleared to play


Badgers' Joe Thomas, who tore his ACL playing IronMan football in the Capital One Bowl at the end of last season, sees a doctor on Sunday with hopes of being cleared to play. No one expects him to get absolute clearance, but best case scenario has him starting once a day practices and being ready for the opening of the season.

Pre-season camp for the Badgers starts this Sunday (hallelujia!) There's a nice story about Thomas in today's Journal-Sentinel, discussing his comeback from injury, how the coaching staff is handling it, and how Thomas has not spent the off-season lazing about waiting for his knee to recover. Apparently he's created a noticably bigger upper body, spending much of the off-season in the weight room. His weight is listed almost 20 pounds heavier.
