Free agent OL Brady Christensen says he’s cleared to return after torn Achilles

Veteran offensive lineman Brady Christensen says that he is ready to get back on the football field.

Christensen tore his Achilles while playing for the Panthers last October and told Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer that doctors have cleared him for contact. Christensen became a free agent when his contract expired in March and said he’s remained in contact about a return to Carolina, but is open to any spot that provides him with an opportunity to play.

“I think my ideal situation is to go in and compete,” Christensen said. “I don’t care about what position I play; I feel comfortable everywhere now. So the ideal situation is just go and compete and find the field again. Being able to play on Sundays is my goal.”

Christensen saw time at multiple positions along the line in 59 games for the Panthers and his clearance for a full workload should be a plus in his effort to find a team before or during training camp.
