Colts' Campbell cleared to return from knee injury: 'I'm 100%'
Indianapolis Colts receiver Parris Campbell has finally been cleared to return.
Campbell saw his season end in Week 2 last season after suffering injuries to his PCL and MCL. He says he received full clearance last week and has completely recovered from the knee injury.
"I'm 100%," Campbell said Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Stephen Holder.
The Colts drafted the former Ohio State receiver in the second round of the 2019 draft, but he's struggled to stay on the field since entering the NFL. Campbell has appeared in only nine games and registered just 198 total receiving yards.
Campbell changed his jersey number this offseason, going from No. 15 to No. 1. He hopes the change will mark a new chapter of his career.
"Wanted a fresh start," Campbell said, according to Kevin Bowen of 1075 The Fan, adding, "I think it looks fast on the field."
Now healthy, the 23-year-old wideout rejoins a Colts receiving group featuring the likes of T.Y. Hilton, who re-signed this offseason, and Michael Pittman.
