Months removed from a sprained foot that forced him to end the season on injured reserve with the Cleveland Browns, newly-minted Denver Broncos quarterback Brady Quinn says he's healthy again.
The former Notre Dame star passed a physical Tuesday that finalized the trade that sent him to Denver, and he said his left foot injury, a severe Lisfranc sprain that forced him to be in a walking boot for two months, is no longer an issue.
"The foot is good, I appreciate you asking," Quinn told Denver reporters.
Quinn didn't require surgery for the foot injury, but he also dealt with a broken finger in 2008 and ended that season on injured reserve.
He's hoping his fresh start in Denver also includes good health.
"It has been frustrating," Quinn said. "Throughout college I took some hits, but I never had an injury. The type of injuries I've had have been more freakish and weird.
"My finger breaking. I've never hit a helmet before. The way I got tackles when I hit my foot. It was an awkward was of landing. It was unfortunate."

Donovan McNabb was regarded as an inaccurate QB for the first four or five years in the league, and had far more starts and passing attempts over that period.
Never getting a chance to work with starters for an extended period in Cleveland had to have a detrimental effect on his timing and coordination with his receivers.
Give the kid some time in Denver, working in the same offense that made him a prolific college QB before he's written off as a career back up or draft bust.
