“We’ve talked about it all training camp, he’s coming off a long layoff,” coach Lane Lambert said. “He’s getting up to game speed, he’s getting in situations that he can play in. To me, it looks like he’s still trying to find his way a little from a speed standpoint.” But for the time being, everyone involved has to grin, bear it and be happy with small steps as the 23-year-old tries to return to being himself.
