per the STrib:
An offseason surgery appears to have rejuvenated Kirkwood, a fifth-year senior. He said he hasn’t felt this healthy since coming in as a freshman.
“I’m 100 percent recovered from the surgery. I can finally open up at the beginning of practices,” he said. “It feels good to be part of [workouts] and not worried about going out and hurting something.”
Though Kirkwood might be at the bottom of the running backs depth chart for the Aug. 28 season opener, his long and injury-plagued career taught him to appreciate options. He said he’s not worried about fighting for carries with fellow running backs Cobb, Rodrick Williams and Berkley Edwards but is excited about the versatility of the group.
“I feel like he’s the same hard runner he’s always been,” Williams said about Kirkwood. “If anything, he’s gotten better. He’s had a couple bang-ups, but Kirkwood is pretty tough.”
