Last time, I [recovered] pretty quick. This one doesn't feel nearly as bad.

I was a little hazy [Saturday]. I feel a lot better [yesterday].

It's just tight and they don't want to throw me out there. A hamstring [problem] isn't one of those things that just goes away. I'm kind of day-to-day.

I feel pretty privileged,
