I asked Garcon about speculation that he has played hurt, that the hamstring injury lingered longer than anybody knew and affected his play.
“Being hurt, nobody wants to sit out as long as the doctors tell you, but you just have to listen to them,” he said. “Being a competitor, you want to get out there as fast as you can and push your body to the limit to play. That’s no problem at all. I was out there playing football and doing my thing.”
The follow-up, does it feel different for him this year?
“It’s different, but you know, every year is going to be different,” he said. “You can’t try to live off last year. You got to try to take whatever you’re given, every day, take it and do the best with it.”
