TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis is making progress in his recovery from knee surgery and remains hopeful of being ready to play in the teams regular season opener in September. The centerpiece of coach Greg Schianos effort to overhaul the NFLs worst pass defence is not expected to participate in full-speed drills during a mandatory mini-camp next week. Revis, however, has been working out with a team trainer and spending time on the sidelines observing teammates during voluntary practices known as organized team activities. Revis said Tuesday hes "taking steps every day" toward getting back on the field. At the same time, he wont say how close his surgically repaired left knee is to being 100 per cent. "I cannot really put a number on it," the three-time All Pro said. "I can tell it is getting stronger. ... I am out here running and cutting. Even in the weight room we are getting stronger. There is really no percentage on it right now, but I can tell I feel better than I did a couple weeks ago." Generally regarded as the leagues top player at his position when healthy, Revis missed most of last season with the New York Jets after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The Bucs obtained the seventh-year pro from the Jets in a pre-draft trade in exchange for the 13th overall pick of the first round, then signed Revis to a six-year, $96 million contract. Schiano and General manager Mark Dominik also signed All-Pro safety Dashon Goldson in free agency and selected cornerback Johnthan Banks in the second round as part of a plan to revamp a porous secondary that nearly set a NFL record for yards passing allowed in 2012. Revis is confident he can return and be as good as ever. "There is no concern. I feel myself getting stronger. I feel myself getting in shape," the 27-year-old said. There are "certain steps through this process and weve got to knock those steps down when they approach," Revis added. "That is how you got to handle this situation. When those steps approach you, you knock them down and if it is a step back, it is a step back. If it is a step forward, then you move forward." The cornerback said hes heard "a million ACL stories from people around the league and non-football players" but that he has not talked with Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who returned from a major knee injury to rush for nearly 2,100 yards and be voted the leagues most valuable player last season. "I think that is good talking to guys around the league that have had these ACL problems or injuries. You just listen. It kind of has you proactive a little bit because when they tell you this is going to happen then you go through it, you are like: Oh yeah, I was ready for it. Your mind is already programmed to be ready for it," Revis said. While theres no definitive timetable for Revis getting back on the field, the main target is the Sept. 8 season opener against his old team. "That is the goal ... to be out there week one and play. If anything other than that we will have to see when that time comes, but we got to have a goal set. I think coach has the same goal too. To be out there week one," Revis said, reiterating he feels the rehab process is going well. During OTAs, Revis spends much of his time working on an adjacent field with trainer Todd Toriscelli. Meanwhile, hes learning the defensive scheme during walkthroughs and team meetings. "The defence is easy," Revis said. "I am a veteran and some of the things that we did in New York, coach Schiano does down here too. I am fine with that. I think the biggest thing is just making sure I am 100 per cent when I step out there with my teammates, and we can go out there and play some great football." Schiano feels Revis is progressing well, too. "Hes not a rookie. Hes played a lot of years, played in a scheme where he has to do more than just cover one on one. Thats always the fear, when you bring a corner in from the outside whos only played one on one, does he understand all the other concepts," Schiano said. "But he does. And hes got a real good football mind, so. Hes doing a good job with his rehab and all those things, and hes also doing a real good job in the classroom, and those are the two things he really can do right now." Like Revis, Schiano would not speculate about how much training camp or preseason game action the cornerback might need to be ready for the season opener. "Its not necessarily live play as much as it is cutting and breaking and running and covering and all those things. Thats the important part," the coach said. "So thats where I have to get a feel and more important than me, hes got to get a feel. Hes the one whos got to be confident of that." Juwan Howard Jersey .

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Luke Kornets 3-pointers havent been falling this season, but he hit two big ones Saturday night.The 7-foot-1 senior buried two during the final 90 seconds, including the game-winner with 3 seconds left, in Vanderbilts 76-74 win over Chattanooga as the Commodores rallied from a nine-point second half deficit.Kornet entered the game with a 23 percent clip from beyond the arc on 6-of-26 shooting.This last week, finals week and having it off, I was able to get in the gym a lot, Kornet said. I kind of had something wrong with my off hand (wrist injury) just from the beginning of the year. Just getting those repetitions in really helped.Kornet and Matthew Fisher-Davis led Vanderbilt (6-5) with 18 points each as the Commodores played their first game since a nine-day break for exams.Kornet made his winning shot seven seconds after Chattanoogas Greg Pryor missed the front end of a one-and-one.Kornet also drained a 3 that gave the Commodores a 73-72 lead with 1:27 remaining. He hit 3 of 6 from beyond the arc.Chattanoogas Tre McLean, the preseason Southern Conference Player of the Year, couldnt get off a rushed jumper in time at the buzzer.Vanderbilt coach Bryce Drew said Kornet was the first option on the last-second shot.Hes a senior and hes worked really hard, and he hit a big shot just about a minute before that so the players really did a good job finding him, Drew said. As you dribble up, obviously there are different options, but Riley (LaChance) made a good decision and Luke made a huge shot.LaChance fed Kornet with a pass on the left side as time ran down in the first game against Chattanooga (8-3) since 2001.Jeff Roberson added 11 points for Vanderbilt and LaChance had 10.LaChance, the SECs leading 3-point shooter (67.dddddddddddd6 percent entering the game), buried a shot from beyond the arc to tie the game at 68 with 4:02 left.Casey Jones led the Mocs with 16 points as their five-game win streak ended.He scored most of his points inside against Vanderbilts zone defense.Ive never been a great outside shooter in my career, so that was my best option, Jones said. I just got down there and tried to penetrate against the zone, and hit what I could.Chattanoogas Justin Tuoyo and Greg Pryor both added 12. Pryor became the 22nd Moc of the Division I era to reach the 1,000 career points milestone with a layup for the games first basket early in the first half.The two biggest things in the game were guarding the 3-point line and rebounding, Chattanooga coach Matt McCall said. They go 6 for 21 and shoot 28 percent. And we outrebounded them (33-27). And we still had a chances.Chattanooga fell to 26-113 against the SEC and 3-14 versus Vanderbilt.BIG PICTUREChattanooga: The Mocs, hoping for a return to the NCAA Tournament after falling to Indiana in the first round last season, should feel good about this one despite the loss after leading much of the second half. Chattanooga fell to 26-113 against the SEC and 3-14 versus Vanderbilt.Vanderbilt: The Commodores entered the game as the SECs best 3-point shooting team and won it with a clutch 3.
