Deion Branch: Not quite ready to return
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Wide receiver Deion Branch appeared on KJR (950 AM) on Tuesday morning with Dave Mahler to discuss the bowling tournament he will have at Lucky Strike Lanes in Bellevue next Tuesday.
Branch is recovering from reconstructive knee surgery after suffering a torn ligament early in Seattle's playoff loss to Green Bay. Mahler asked when he will return.
"I'm close to returning," Branch said on the radio. "I wouldn't say I'm ready right now, if you asked me today."
Mahler followed up to ask him specifically what the time frame is for the return, and Branch was pretty coy. He said it will be a surprise. The team does not relase a practice report until after Wednesday's workout.
Holmgren said after Friday's exhibition game against Oakland that the expectation was Branch might be ready to practice this week.
Branch said part of the process is rebuilding his stamina and strength.
"I'm breaking through the fatigue phase," Branch said.
