AJ Green has said that he has "no fear" despite injuring his knee at the start of training camp.
The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver made plays against the team's defense in practice for the first time in three weeks yesterday.
The 24-year-old told the team's website: "When you're playing this game, you can't have fear and I have no fear. I just go out here and play and whatever is going to happen is going to happen, so I'm just going to play my regular game.
"It was good to get back out there. Seeing all my brothers out there working. It doesn't seem like you're part of the team when you're not practising. They're sweating and grinding and you're in the training room.
"I'm the type of guy that needs my reps. I don't feel the same if I don't get my proper reps. Whatever the coaches decide, I'll take it. But when I'm out there I'm going to make the most of it. They didn't want to throw me out the first day. They just let me work my way back."
Green recorded 1,350 receiving yards and scored 11 touchdowns for the Bengals last season.
