Edgerrin James will not be surprised if it's well into the season before Willis McGahee gets back to 100 percent. The Indianapolis Colts' star back knows what it's like to return from major knee surgery. James suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the 2001 season.
He returned to the field 10 months after surgery and had a decent season. But it wasn't a vintage James year. James had gained 1,553 and 1,709 yards and averaged 4.3 yards a carry his first two years. In 2002 he came back to gain 989 with a 3.6-yard average. Last season James gained 1,259 with a 4.1-yard average.
