Santonio Holmes is taking his comeback from a serious foot injury one step at a time. Getting back on the practice field this week has been a major leap forward for the New York Jets wide receiver—even if he's trying not to get anyone's hopes up. "I was just really limited, just working on getting in the groove of things," Holmes said Tuesday. "Getting a feel for what I can and cannot not do right now. I'm going to keep that to a minimal and steadily make good progress from there." Holmes is recovering from a serious foot injury that he suffered in Week 4 of last season. "We're really just phasing Santonio in right now," coach Rex Ryan said. "It's not like he's going out there every snap." Holmes was moved to the Jets' active roster from the physically unable to perform list last Friday night, a sign that he could possibly be ready to go when the season starts on Sept. 8. The receiver, however, is tempering expectations. "Doctors still have to continue evaluating me," he said. "It's been a long process. I've come a long way up until this point and I can't put any timetable on it. Just because of my progress (being brought to your) attention, it doesn't really boost the trainers' push for me to be on the field right away." Source: Sporting News
