(AP)Jason Verrettr17;s staggering accumulation of injuries over the past several years could have shaken anyoner17;s resolve to stick with football.Instead, the Chargersr16; once-dominant cornerback is determined to get his game right back to where it was two seasons ago.Verrett participated in a full practice during Los Angelesr16; minicamp Wednesday for the first time since last September, when he eventually lost a second consecutive season to a left knee injury. Verrett looked healthy and sharp while getting to know several teammates who werenr17;t around for his Pro Bowl season back in San Diego in 2015.r1;Itr17;s night and day different from last year,r1; Verrett said. r1;Ir17;m just happy to be able to move around. I feel solid.r1;Verrett tore a ligament in his knee four games into the 2016 season White Rayshawn Jenkins Jerseys , ruining his chance to establish himself as an elite NFL cornerback following his breakthrough in 2015. He made it through only the regular-season opener last year before his knee proved too painful, eventually requiring another surgery.But after several months of rehabilitation, Verrett feels great and looks healthy. Her17;s looking forward to fighting for a job in the Chargersr17; crowded secondary and putting together a season that could secure his future as a free agent next spring.r1;Being out here, just seeing how deep we are at every position, itr17;s great,r1; Verrett said. r1;Especially in the defensive room, we have so many guys that can play all over the field. Being able to get back to how I used to play, and adding that onto what we did last year, it can be special.r1;Injuries have affected all of Verrettr17;s four seasons with the Chargers, who drafted the Northern California native in 2014 out of TCU, where he famously played his senior season with a torn labrum in his shoulder.He played in only six games as a rookie Rayshawn Jenkins Jerseys 2019 , but made an interception in Oakland despite tearing his labrum again earlier in the game. He made the Pro Bowl in his second season with the Chargers, missing a mere two games with injuries.And then Verrettr17;s knee gave out in October 2016. He never felt fully healthy last year despite the Chargersr17; extreme caution with him in training camp and the preseason, and the pain eventually forced him to give up.All told, Verrett has missed 39 of 64 possible regular-season games. Itr17;s a source of frustration, but Verrett also sees his experience as a well of knowledge.r1;I just think itr17;s part of my story,r1; Verrett said. r1;I dealt with so much adversity getting here, and then the fact that I dealt with a lot of injuries, itr17;s kept me up to date. Whenever other people are going through injuries, I feel like I know so much. Tell them, `Hey, work on this White Dan Feeney Jerseys ,r17; or `Work on that.r17; I just feel itr17;s something the man above put on my plate so Ir17;m able to be a gift for somebody else.r1;Verrett isnr17;t a taller, bulkier cornerback in the more modern mold of the positionr17;s archetype, but his speed and educated football instincts made him a standout when healthy. Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley sees Verrett rounding back into that form.r1;Sometimes when you see a guy come back from an injury like that, it takes some time,r1; Bradley said. r1;I donr17;t see it right now. The way her17;s working out, the way her17;s practicing, her17;s in a really good place right now. r30; His skill set, what he has, his speed, his athleticism, his change of direction Dan Feeney Jerseys 2019 , it is elite.r1;The Chargers showed their commitment to Verrett in April 2017 when they exercised his fifth-year contract option, but he returns to a roster with a well-stocked defensive secondary.Casey Hayward earned a Pro Bowl selection last season as Los Angelesr17; lockdown corner, while Trevor Williams emerged as a dependable starting corner and Desmond King excelled as a slot corner and nickel back. Starting safety Jahleel Addae played a major role in Verrettr17;s recovery by hitting his teammate with daily texts and steady encouragement.The Chargers also used their recent first-round pick on Derwin James, who could be headed toward an immediate starting job at safety after getting major responsibilities in offseason practices.Itr17;s too early to say where Verrett fits into the mix, but her17;s determined to find a spot while he plays for his future.r1;They stuck with me throughout the entire time last year,r1; Verrett said. r1;Being able to come out here, make a few plays and see all the guys cheering on and having that squad, itr17;s helping me get through my days.r1;r12;
