Darrelle Revis vows to return to form for 2013 season

New York Jets all-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, will have surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, predicted he will return to his all-pro form for the 2013 season.

“Once I get back to 100 percent, to me there’s no question I (will) be back to where I was,” Revis said, commenting for the first time since suffering the season-ending injury three weeks ago in Miami.

Revis will have to prove he can return from the injury, especially if he wants to secure a long term contract.

The 27-year-old cornerback is signed through the 2013 season after signing an extension a four-year, $46 million contract in 2010.

Typically, it takes a little over a year to recover from an ACL injury. However, other athletes have come back sooner.

Revis said he should be jogging in 12 to 16 weeks.
