The timing of pa s rusher 's torn ACL makes his recovery timetable iffy for the start of training camp in late July.Dupree suffered the tear on Dec. 2, almost seven months ago. After signing in Tenne see as a free agent, he, predictably, didn't participate in the offseason program outside of rehab work.The edge rusher dropped by NFL Network's on Wednesday and said he's still working hard to be ready for the start of Vic Law Jersey the season."Just training hard every day right now, man," Dupree said. "ACL recovery, rehab has been one of the most progre s things I've dealt with so far. Each week you see different levels of progre s. You see different things changing Shaquille O'Neal Jersey about it. I'm working hard to be back as soon as I can, but it's up to the coaching staff at the end of the day, like when they want me to be on the field and how comfortable they feel with me coming off the injury."The Titans have refused to put a timetable on Dupree's recovery or even note whether he'll be ready Chuma Okeke Jersey for Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 12, just over nine months after he suffered the injury.The Titans giving Dupree a in March, with the first two years basically guaranteed, suggests they were bullish on his recovery timetable. If the 28-year-old returns in the form we last saw him in Pittsburgh, it would be a ma sive boon for a Tenne see defense that struggled mightily to rush the pa ser last season.Dupree said when he gets on the field, he plans on wreaking havoc in all phases."Anytime you get paid to pa s rush, you go ahead and get sacks and make big plays in the run game, be an all-around player," he said. "You don't just come D.J. Augustin Jersey in just to be a one-trick pony and just do pa s rush. You've got to be able to be a tone-setter on the edge, as well, swarming to the ball, stopping the run, evolving your teammates, getting everybody hyped up. That's what Orlando Magic Jeresy it is, man. That excites everybody around you, and that's a big part of the game, in today's game, especially. We've got to go out and be tough, tough as nails, go out there and just play to our best ability."At this stage, it's unknown when Dupree will be cleared to return to the field. Whenever that occurs, Tenne see's defense will happily add a player with 19.5 sacks in his last 27 regular-season games.
