David Garrard is nearing a return from back surgery and fully intends to play football in 2012. Garrard's agent, Albert Irby, said that the quarterback is on track to return between mid-March and early April. "David is confident that he'll be ready in four to six weeks," the agent said. "He is open to all teams and any situation that makes sense for him and the team. He will take a backup position, or a starting position. It depends on the situation."
