After being fully cleared by Dr. James Andrews, DE Shawne Merriman (Achilles) finally feels like he has a fresh start. "It was a hard three years when you’re dealing with something like the Achilles ... you’re in pain," Merriman said. "You can’t go out there and play the way you’re (used to) playing ... what people have seen the last three years wasn’t Shawne Merriman, it was a guy that was going out there trying his best for what he had at the time."
