Veteran wide receiver Chase Claypool, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2023, is confident he will be able resume his career after recovering from a toe injury.
Claypool, 26, signed with the Buffalo Bills last offseason but missed the 2024 campaign due to the injury he suffered last August. He was released by the Bills with an injury settlement.
The four-year pro, who was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 2020 draft, wrote on social media on Friday that he is 'the strongest and fastest I've ever been' following a full offseason of recovery and rehab.
'I tore a ligament and a tendon in my second toe and have been rehabbing, working out, and recovering every day for the past year,' Claypool posted on Instagram. 'I am back to being the strongest and fastest I've ever been and couldn't be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves.
'I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what's been suppressed these last two years.'
In four seasons with the Steelers (2020-22), Chicago Bears (2022-23) and Miami Dolphins (2023), Claypool recorded 175 catches for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games (32 starts).
