"It gets to the point where you just can't take not doing anything anymore," Lock told the media when asked why he thinks he's ready. "That hit me about four week ago to where I was like, 'I'm going to push through for a couple weeks.' Now it's at the point where I'm getting a little antsy. As far as me actually thinking 'I'm ready,' that first week [of practice] was a kind of a trial run, getting my feet back underneath me, feeling out the game a little bit. The second week was like, 'All right, I'm going to act as if the week after this next week [that] I would come in and play.' Then I felt good after that week. I felt like if needed, I would be able to come in. I would be able to compete. I would be able to complete balls. That comes with how confident I am with the base that I have right now and just the little things I've been working on."
