New England Patriots wide receiver Brandon LaFell has revealed that he is out of a walking boot and ready to start his pre-season preparations.
The 28-year-old said that he was wearing the boot as a precaution, as he played through minor injuries in the second half of last season.
He told Sirius XM NFL Radio: "Just a few lingering injuries that happened in the late part of the regular season that I just played through throughout the playoffs.
"Finally got some time off to let my body heal up properly. I'm out of the boot now and I'm just looking forward to starting camp."
The Patriots are due to start the defence of their Super Bowl title against the Indianapolis Colts in week one.
