Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik has said that he is "totally confident" that Darrelle Revis will be ready to play in the first game of the 2013 NFL season.
The cornerback, who was acquired in a trade with the New York Jets earlier this year, is currently recovering from a knee ligament tear sustained last September.
Dominik told NFL Total Access: "Totally confident. He's in great shape right now, he's running full speed, he's cutting, he's doing all the things we'd want him to do from a training standpoint, a rehabilitation standpoint.
"We're going to keep him at our pace, but the whole point is that he'll walk out to the first day of training camp, he'll have the pads on and he'll be ready hopefully for the Jets [in] week one. We're expecting that."
The Buccaneers start their season against Revis' former team.
