Trent Green Ready To Play After Circulation Restored
8th September, 2005 - 8:00 pm
AP - Two weeks after undergoing surgery to restore circulation in his leg, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green pronounced himself 100 percent fit.

``I feel really good,'' he said Thursday. ``It's amazing how quick the turnaround has been, how quickly it came back.''

Doctors implanted a stent in an artery after conducting a battery of tests to learn why he was experiencing numbness in the left leg and foot. The surgery was performed on Aug. 30 and required an overnight hospital stay.

When the Chiefs played St. Louis in their final preseason game Sept. 2, Green missed a start for the first time since he was acquired from the Rams in 2001.

``I haven't had any muscle soreness. My foot feels fine,'' he said. ``It's really amazing how quickly it recovers.''

He was taken off blood thinners this week and will no longer require them.

``I'll be fine, ready to go,'' he said. ``I took every snap (Wednesday), every drill the first unit ran. I'm taking everything today. I haven't had any setbacks.'' [READ]
