"I'm still trying to get my motion back and get all the swelling out," Brown said in his first public comments since suffering the injury.

After a breakout 2012 season in which he intercepted eight passes, Brown is resigned to spending all of 2013 as a spectator.

"It's very disappointing," Brown said. "You work all summer getting ready for the season and just a freak accident like that to happen definitely (stinks)."

Brown will use Thomas as a role model in his recovery.

"I've talked to T2 a few times," Brown said. "I was asking him about the different type of surgeries that he's had and the different surgeons that he's had. Just the whole recovery process. I know me and him are going to get together some time this weekend and talk a little bit more as well."
