COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) Forrest Lamp tore a ligament in his right knee on the third day of his first NFL training camp. He hadn't participated in another football practice until Monday.

One year and 11 days after that heartbreaking injury, Lamp has returned to practice with the Los Angeles Chargers. The offensive lineman's excitement about his rookie year vanished long ago into months of tough rehabilitation, but Lamp was excited to reach another milestone on his steady progress back to the field.

"It's like the first day of school, but it's like riding a bike," Lamp said. "It comes back pretty quickly."
