Linebacker Boss Bailey appears to be ahead of schedule in his comeback from microfracture surgery on his left knee.

Linebacker Boss Bailey appears to be ahead of schedule in his comeback from microfracture surgery on his left knee in early November.

Bailey's agent, Jack Reale, said Bailey already has begun jogging, is building strength and is on track for a potential return in training camp.

Meanwhile, Bailey's brother, Champ, is making headway in his return from surgery to repair torn ligaments and a dislocation of his left elbow.

"Once it heals, you don't want to go in and start lifting a lot of weights with that arm. You've got to build up slowly. That'll be the process," Reale said, adding that Champ Bailey might be recovered in time for some limited minicamp activities. "He'll proceed at his pace with that arm and work everything else. And by the time they put pads on, he'll be ready to go."
