Cotchery has returned to football activities after back surgery

By Anthony Caruso III

New York Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery is returning to the football field at the right now.

Cotchery, who had back surgery, has received the go-ahead from his doctor to resume all football activities. Prior to this go-ahead, Cotchery was already doing cutting and running routes.

However, once the new CBA takes place, the Jets are expected to slow down Cotchery's progress. Besides this back surgery, Cotchery played with a herniated disc last year, which was why he was a disappointment last year as the third string receiver.

He is also expected to be the Jets third string receiver this year, as well.
