As former Lions running back Kevin Jones continues to rehabilitate his knee in an effort to get back into the NFL, a league source tells us that the physician who is aiding the effort is well-respected for his ability to reduce recovery time.

Dr. D.S. Ping “is an amazing trainer,” the source said.  “He uses some different kind of rehab methods and gets results that cut recovery time in half.”

Whether that helps Jones get a job remains to be seen.  By all accounts, he had an impressive workout on Saturday.  Unless his financial objectives are unreasonable, he might be the most likely of the current crop of veteran tailbacks (including Shaun Alexander, Travis Henry, and Cedric Benson) to find work.

The Dolphins, Packers, Steelers, and Lions attended the workout.  The Browns have asked for a copy of the tape.
