Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White has insisted that he is not worried about a minor knee issue ahead of the new season.
The 33-year-old is entering his 11th NFL season, but has revealed after having his knee drained prior to mini-camp that he is not concerned about its condition.
"It's not a concern to me because it's just like a little irritation," he told ESPN.
"My cartilage in my knee is not smooth. It's kind of rippled. You can elect to have surgery, but I just decided not to because I'm not a surgery guy. I just don't want to do it."
White insisted that if he repeated the procedure during the season it would not force him to miss games.
