Danny Amendola: "I'm healthy and I'm ready to play"

New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola has revealed that he is "ready to play" for his side this Sunday after recovering from a concussion.

The 27-year-old sustained the injury during his side's win over the New Orleans Saints but missed their defeat to the New York Jets after he was not cleared to play.

"I had a good week and I'm ready to go," Amendola told the Providence Journal. "I feel as good as I can. I'm not really worried about the past. I'm worried about the future. I'm excited. I look forward to Sunday.

"They've got protocols and stuff now with a bunch of head injuries. You've got to kind of follow along.

"You might feel good and feel ready to go and the doctors might not let you go. I feel good now and I'm ready to go. I've done pretty much everything they've asked me to do. I'm healthy and I'm ready to play."

The Patriots face the Miami Dolphins in week eight.
